Our Story
About the Monarch Preschool College Park
The Monarch Preschool College Park is a high-quality project-based learning pre-kindergarten for children ages 3-5. Teachers are active and engaged, helping children apply their learning to real-world issues. We expect to foster a life-long love of learning, focusing on the whole-child approach and getting children ready for school and life beyond.
Monarch Preschool College Park is a project-based learning school, presenting the curriculum in a consistently hands-on, interactive, and dynamic manner. It provides an authentic application of learning that embeds the arts within the important learning concepts to foster engagement, aid in retention, and enhance comprehension.



The Monarch Preschool College Park was founded by The Children’s Guild—a nonprofit organization that is an affiliate of the Children’s Guild. The Children’s Guild is dedicated to pioneering educational services for children and families. One of The Children’s Guild founders included Dr. Leo Kanner, a world–renowned psychiatrist from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, who first identified childhood autism.
