Through small group settings, excellent teacher-child ratios, and a thoughtful balance of teacher-guided and child-initiated activities, we empower children to celebrate their individuality, express creativity, develop competence, and cultivate positive social connections—foundational skills that support lifelong growth.
Children learn best through active, hands-on engagement in a rich and stimulating environment: solving problems with peers, exploring ideas with teachers, expressing thoughts, engaging in imaginative play, and interacting with materials in expressive ways. Healthy development is an ongoing process of experiencing, connecting, and making sense of the world, guiding each child toward autonomy and a meaningful, personal understanding of life.
As a parent, there is an extreme amount of pressure to start kids at preschool memorizing facts and figures. I appreciate the fact that The Children’s School has resisted the urge to follow that trend. In our 5 years as part of the TCS family my kids learned so much more than letters and numbers. They went into elementary school with a high level of self confidence, creativity, and problem-solving ability. The Children’s School focuses on the “big picture” of early childhood education. Memorization might sound impressive at age 3, but hearing preschoolers solve a conflict completely on their own is far more impressive. The staff at the Children’s School not only treats each child as an individual, but they are also supportive to the families as a whole. The entire staff are all there to help if a child has a problem, and then to cheer as the child succeeds. I have already witnessed the foundation established at TCS benefiting my children–and I expect it to last a lifetime.

We were not lucky enough to find The Children’s School until our son, Andrew, showed us why childcare programs are so important. Andrew had been enrolled in another local child care program for three months and, while it was conveniently located and seemed “good,” Andrew was just not excited about going to school. We moved Andrew to the Children’s School and witnessed a transformation in Andrew’s attitude: he looked forward to school and was excited to tell us about what he did during the school day. Andrew’s school experience moved from “good” to “great.” I see the impact that The Children’s School had on my son Andrew to this day. He still shows the interpersonal skills, confidence, and curiosity The Children’s School helped develop in him four years ago. The lessons he learned there are truly lessons of a lifetime. Thank you TCS!

Although I expected my children to learn and to make new friends while they were at The Children’s School, I never expected to learn so much and make so many new friends myself! I don’t know who learned more, my children or me. My sons are now 14 and 11 and I still use the parenting and conflict resolution skills I learned with family, business colleagues and clients! Some of my dearest friends are parents I met while we were at TCS. It is my wish that everyone would have this opportunity. I truly believe my world is a better place because of what I learned and who I met while “I” was at The Children’s School.

This school is a tremendous conduit for children to learn respect, problem solving and thinking on higher levels. It boosters an intrinsic love of learning. Our years at TCS were times when life was simple and cozy and needs were met. TCS nurtures children socially and emotionally, as well as cognitively. TCS protect the tender years so that children are able to grow and blossom to their fullest potential.
