Circle of Friends is a full year preschool program offering a warm home like learning environment for children ages 2.5 to 5. During the school year (September - June) we offer monthly learning themes to engage children in learning about the world around them. We use a combined traditional and Montessori approach to teaching and learning by offering a prepared environment where children are free to learn and grow at his or her own pace while offering some structured learning activities to prepare children for Kindergarten. Additionally, during the summer we offer a Summer Immersion Program for children in preschool through school age offering short weekly/biweekly themes structured similarly to a summer camp. We also work to prevent the summer slide for school age children.
