When it comes to education, we celebrate the adage: Don’t save the best for last. Decades of research have proven the early years are the most important in a child’s entire education. More than middle school, high school, and college? Yes. Because the period from birth to age 8 is when a foundation for life is created. Deep curiosity. Interests. Passions. Skills. Confidence. Respect for others, oneself, and the natural world. Put those together, and it adds up to good habits of heart and mind for a lifetime.

That is why we at The Children’s School have focused on early childhood education for 60 years, with a clear mission—nurturing good habits of heart and mind through an individualized learning program and unsurpassed teaching talent. Head of School Maureen Murphy explains, “In that time, we have melded the very best thinking about children’s astonishing capacity to learn with six decades of working with children ourselves.” That expertise means that each student is known and supported in our classrooms, courtesy of a 6-to-1 student-to-teacher ratio. Every student has a learning program designed expressly for them, with careful monitoring and recordkeeping that allow for swift adjustments if necessary. It also means your child is immersed in a curriculum rich in music, art, science, movement, books and more books, and a suite of learning materials that beckon children to play, which, as we know, is the basis of all learning for children. Our five-acre sustainable campus and state-of-the-art building and Art Barn enfold students in the wonders of discovering the world and self-expression.

We look forward to introducing you to all things TCS, where childhood is the classroom, and joy in learning is a child’s favorite subject.
