During their preschool years, children encounter an enormous variety of experiences, a wide range of developmental growth, and challenges of all kinds. The Grammar School Preschool provides new and exciting experiences for its youngest students five full days per week, with options for partial-week enrollment. We stimulate children’s curiosity and encourage their expression through music, art, drama, physical skills, and a variety of language games and activities. The development of positive social skills is an integral part of each day. Our preschoolers learn to care for themselves, each other and for their environment. They enjoy being a part of the larger school community.
Our curriculum is embodied in all the different components of the day. We promote social emotional learning, language and early literacy skills, and cognitive development through an emergent curriculum and play-based opportunities. The outdoors serves as a rich and vibrant setting for exploration and discovery. We work in a variety of settings outdoors including several play yards and forest classrooms. Our schedule balances large- and fine-motor activities, and each space allows children to play comfortably individually, with another playmate, or in larger groups.
