About the Provider

Advertisement
We believe that young children learn predominantly through play, using their physical, emotional, social, creative, and cognitive selves. Our four certified teachers have designed a preschool curriculum dedicated to fulfilling each developmental need, including:

Exploration with sensory materials
Open-ended arts and crafts
Role-playing
Singing and dancing
Listening and interacting with language and literature
Small group and circle time activities
Physical activity outdoors (Our fenced playground includes a playhouse, jungle gym, sandbox, tricycles, and a large assortment of toys.)

We believe strongly that children and parents both benefit greatly when parents are able to take an active role in their children’s preschool education. Each preschool class is attended by a co-oping parent who serves as a teaching assistant. Parents also have the opportunity to serve on committees, attend preschool meetings and field trips, participate in fundraising activities, and share housekeeping responsibilities, all of which strengthen our preschool programs and our community.
Additional Information: MSDE-Approved Education Program.
