Our History and Philosophy

Corkran Preschool & Kindergarten opened its doors in 1955 and was one of the very first kindergarten programs in Prince George's County. Shortly after, we expanded our school to include a two-, three- and four-year-old program. Since that time, our school has provided a rich, satisfying, and constructive "first" school experience for our children.
Corkran Preschool and Kindergarten and staff members share a common philosophy that children learn best when they can actively interact with their environment. We share a common commitment to helping each child develop fully-physically, socially, emotionally, cognitively, and spiritually. We encourage each child to think for themselves, and solve problems according to their individual developmental level and ability.
