Our exciting preschool program specifically designed for 3- and 4-year old's. Children will gain independence and self-confidence in our play based approach to early learning focused on socialization and cooperation. This hands on, active environment will encourage exploration and discovery. Activities will include creative expression, dramatic play, music and movement, large and small motor activities, early literacy, sensory activities, math readiness and outdoor play. We also offer a “Lunch Bunch” option for students two days a week that will extend the school day until 1:30pm on those assigned days. Families will be required to sign up on a monthly basis and pay in advance. This will begin in October 2027 and run through June 2028 for the four-year-old program. The lunch bunch will also be available to the three-year-olds starting in January 2028. To schedule a visit call 203-977-5018 or @Skassouf@stamfordct.gov All students registering for the program must be 3 years old by October 1, 2027, to be eligible for the program.
