ALG has been teaching children ages 2.5 to 5 years of age in Washington, D.C. since 1971 through PLAY.

Young children learn best through play. At ALG, highly trained teachers support children’s natural inclination for play by providing rich learning opportunities while encouraging independence and social connection.

As a cooperative, families contribute their unique experiences and talents to the school by working in the classroom. Children leave ALG as open and eager learners who are ready to embrace, question, and contribute to their community.
