"Learning By Experiencing"
|
We offer a combined Kindergarten/Prekindergarten program in our 5's Room with 8 children and 1 teacher which provides a semi-structured, social and active peer level learning experience. This program is available mornings or afternoons for children attending Kindergarten at Darcey School AM or PM, with town transportation. The Prekindergarten program, available mornings in the 5's Room, is for young five-year-olds needing an extra year in a structured peer group learning situation before their entry into Kindergarten.

We have an active, play based, structured learning environment, prepared to meet the
physical, social, emotional and cognitive needs of young children, unfolding indoors in the
classroom as well as out of doors on our multi-area playground each day except in severe
weather.
A nutritious morning and afternoon snack is provided each day, with lunch brought from
home.
Parents are welcome to visit in their child's classroom throughout the year and will be invited for lunch and observation
visits at special times.
Children are assessed in the fall and again in the spring using the 30 performance standards put forth by the State
Department of Education for Preschool Curricular Goal & Benchmarks. We use this tool to chart developmental gains
that we observe and monitor in the classroom.
