Parents of young chidren are invited to join us at Learning Circle Preschool on December 10th between the hours of 9 and 1030am while school is in session for an open house.
Learning Circle Preschool, accredited by NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) offers two, three, or five day programs for children 2.9-7. Set at the foot of the Great Blue Hills, the facility houses three spacious classrooms and a state of the art playground in a natural setting. The school features a highly individualized, creative and engaging curriculum that follows best practice guidelines developed by Massachusetts and the National Association of Educators of Young Children.
The Learning Circle's kindergarten class accepts older pre-k children who are not yet eligible for public school kindergarten but who may benefit developmentally from a transitional class, as well as children who will make the transition to first grade in the following year.
Learning Circle uses a project approach in curriculum development that is inspired by schools that developed in Reggio Emilia, Italy. Children enjoy engaging in hands-on experiences that build strong foundations for learning with individual attention and project work in small groups, respectful and nurturing interactions, opportunities to plan, reflect on and work on projects over time and an integrated arts and sciences curriculum.
Parents enjoy on-going communication, detailed documentation of each child's growth and development shared in a portfolio system, newsletters and other written information about the program distributed regularly, parent meetings and discussion groups on educational and parenting issues and a welcoming attitude toward parent participation in the program.
Class sizes typically range form 12-14 students, each with two highly-qualified and experienced co-teachers. Decisions about placements for Fall 2014 will begin to be made in December and continue on a first-come first-served basis. There are limited spots still available for January 2014.
For parents unable to attend the Open House on December 10th, the school offers opportunities to visit its facilities individually. The visits, held during school hours, give parents and children a chance to meet with the director Katrina Selawsky, to talk about each family's specific needs and to see the classrooms while the children are in session.
We hope to see you on December 10th. Please visit our website www.learningcirclepreschool.org or contact Katrina at (781) 828-4800 or info@learningcirclepreschool.org for more information or to arrange a tour of the facility.
