Jack and Jill Preschool provides a developmentally appropriate curriculum and care for preschool children from 2.9 to 7 years of age. Our program is focused on creating an environment in which children can form a positive self-image and a healthy awareness of the world around them. We strive to provide a stimulating learning experience that fosters physical, emotional, intellectual, and social growth aligned with the Massachusetts Early Childhood Education Curriculum Guidelines and Standards. We have a beautiful and bright facility. We have a large fenced-in safe, playground with amazing structures, fun toys, and a ride on space for cars. We have a large motor play space inside as well with some new movement games and toys for those days with inclement weather. We have large classrooms to move around in and sensory rooms for art and exploration allowing the children the ability to explore all kinds of modalities. Today Jack and Jill Preschool continues to be a valuable service to the local community providing a loving, caring environment for preschoolers to learn and grow! |
Jack and Jill Philosophy
It is the philosophy of Jack and Jill Preschool that early childhood should be a time of fun, warmth, security, exploring, and discovery. We believe it is important to instill in the children a love for learning. Preschool children are active, curious, creative, and receptive. The staff strives to nurture and encourage these qualities in our students. We believe each child is a special and unique individual and it is important to meet each child where they are developmentally. Our purpose is to provide an environment that encourages social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth that includes the development of the child as a whole. Planned within the framework of our philosophy is a curriculum centered around the state standards which includes art, science, math, music, movement, fine motor, large motor, independence, self-help skills, cognitive abilities, language, and literature. Exposure to letters, numbers, shapes, and colors happens throughout the day. At Jack and Jill, we work on communication skills, sharing, cooperation, conflict resolution, and socialization daily. Learning is focused on through play, circle time, books, music, poetry, movement, experiments, food preparation, multicultural experiences, nature, and arts and crafts.
