About Us
Downtown Preschool is now enrolling kids 2 years 9 months old to Pre-K! We are excited to cultivate a preschool program that will be beneficial to all who partake. Our goal is to help grow, in young learners, the ability to process big feelings, foster friendships, connect to community, and engage in the curriculum.
As educators, we will build upon the curiosity of our students and implement a curriculum based on Massachusetts standards. In order to support this goal, weekly student investigations that are developed through student interests, will ensure that the journey of learning is meaningful.
In addition, Downtown Preschool students will have multiple opportunities to access our climate-controlled full-size gymnasium and indoor turf field that extends into an outdoor play area to help improve gross motor development year round.
Our Purpose
To plant the seed in every child’s mind that together anything is possible. We provide an environment for children to work together in learning, play, community, and friendship. This focus provides the foundation for fun days filled with each child’s unique successes that are encouraged & recognized.
