Learning Circle Preschool and Kindergarten offers visits to prospective parents

It may seem early to be planning for preschool that will start next fall, but now is the time to begin to collect information and firm up plans!

The Learning Circle Preschool, a non-profit preschool and kindergarten program at the foot of the Blue Hills on the Milton/Canton border, is offering prospective parents and their children the opportunity to visit its facilities at 3 Blue Hill River Road, Canton, MA.

On Saturday Nov.14 from 9-10:30 a.m. parents and children can tour the school and collect information about programs, including summer programs and those starting in September, 2016. This Open House is scheduled right before a community puppet show presented by Sparky Puppets begins (puppet show starts at 11 a.m.)

On Wednesday December 9 from 8-9 p.m. families are welcome to join a discussion with current families about kindergarten readiness, Learning Circle’s transitional kindergarten and other program choices for the 2016-2017 academic school year.

Individual family visits are currently being scheduled as well. These are held during school hours, and give parents and children a chance to meet with director Katrina Selawsky, to talk about each family’s specific needs, and to see the classrooms while children are in session.

Learning Circle Preschool, accredited by NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) offers morning programs with two, three, or five day options, and Enrichment programs and extended day options Monday – Friday. Facilities include three state of the art, open, sunny and spacious classrooms, a welcome room with library and a spacious playground at the foot of the Blue Hills, a short walk from Brookwood Farm.

Children enjoy engaging, hands on experiences that build a strong foundation 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 science 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 towards parent participation in the program.

Class sizes typically range from 10-14 students, each with two highly qualified and experienced co-teachers. Decisions about placements for the fall of 2016 will begin to be made in December. For more information or an appointment, please call the Director at 781-828-4800
