Pre-K Cottage Welcome

The Pre-K Cottage is filled with smiling faces and excitement as twenty-four children gather for their day at school. We begin each day at our morning assembly by singing songs, celebrating birthdays, and talking about our values and how we can build a caring respectful pre-school community together.

Instructional time follows where groups of eight children meet with a teacher for Language Arts and Math. These are presented in a multi-sensory approach where children are actively engaged. Our weekly schedule is supplemented with times for Art, Music, French, library, Physical Education, and studying the world around us. Time for creative play, free exploration, and free choice activities both inside the classroom and out at recess are essential components of each day. We strive to maintain a proper balance between skill development and social development.

Pre-K is a time for children to be curious, to explore, and to enjoy the excitement of learning something new every day. With a flexible program, we are committed to meet individual needs so that each child will grow and develop at his/her own pace. Our goal is for all to gain in confidence and to enjoy personal success as we instill a love of learning in a nurturing, caring community.

Sincerely,
Barbara Kennedy
Head of Pre-K Cottage
