Welcome to Pixie Play School!
Your child was born curious. We keep it that way.
Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, Pixie Play School treats your child as a capable, creative thinker from day one. Our classrooms are designed as a "third teacher", intentional spaces filled with natural materials, open-ended exploration, and room to make a beautiful mess.
No worksheets. No pressure. Just curious kids, listening teachers, and learning that actually looks like childhood.
What your child gains:
Creative thinking and real problem-solving skills
A strong social and emotional foundation
Confidence and a sense of self that carries them forward
Families have always been at the heart of Pixie. Born as a parent cooperative in 1954, we were built on the belief that families belong at the center of their child's education. We're no longer a co-op — but that spirit is still in our DNA. You'll feel it the moment you walk through the door.

What Do Parents Say?
“Pixie Play School really helped my son come out of his shell. With a speech delay he was very shy and withdrawn, but Pixie really helped him thrive! Now I have no concerns about him starting TK in the Fall. My daughter is starting Pixie now and my whole family is grateful for the hard work Teacher Jessica puts in and the community and life long friends we've made here. I'm so excited we get to be here for 3 more years.”
— Allison N.
“We have gone to Pixie for over a year now and LOVE it. It's like a big family. We have a 4 and 2 year old and both have grown SO much socially and even academically this year. It is play based, but there is still structure to the day that helps them prepare for elementary school years. They love coming to school and look forward to seeing Teacher Jessica and their friends. We love being involved there and the co-oping responsibilities are fun because we know we are making our school better. We highly recommend this preschool!”
— Suzanne L.
“My son started at Pixie after attending preschool in a center setting. We experienced a seamless transition and were immediately welcomed into the community. He loves the smaller class size and higher staff to student ratio. As a former teacher I really appreciate the care and thoughtfulness Teacher Jessica takes in working with each student. Not only does my son learn new things every time he’s there, he has so much fun doing it!”
— Brittany E.
