Preschool

Discovery. Exploration. Play. 

A classroom with young children sitting on a blue patterned rug, a woman with a red heart on her sweater sitting on a chair, an man in a superhero costume with a cape and glasses, holding a black jacket, and a man in a gray cap with glasses. The classroom has a green wall with a large monitor displaying school information, colorful bulletin boards, and a display of backpacks and jackets on hooks.
A group of children standing in line outside, being supervised by an adult woman, in front of a red fire truck with an open compartment, where a firefighter is showing equipment, during a day with clear weather.
Young children participate in a tug-of-war game in a gymnasium, supervised by an adult. The children and the adult are wearing purple shirts and the children are pulling on a striped rope. There are orange cones at the front and a red wall in the background.

At The Burlington School, our youngest learners thrive in an exciting and nurturing environment. Through discovery and exploration, students are prepared for kindergarten, both academically and socially. There isn’t a day without play for our preschoolers — and we wouldn’t have it any other way! 

Hands-On Education

Every academic lesson in our preschool is enhanced with hands-on activities. These stimulating learning experiences foster collaboration among students and make subject matter both meaningful and fun. As students are guided by passionate teachers, they learn to interact harmoniously with one another. Whenever possible, we introduce academic concepts through music, movement and interactive learning. Centers designed to develop motor skills, as well as frequent rotations of toys and books, keep students engaged. 

Thematic Learning

Thematic teaching is one of the most effective ways to ensure young children grasp information. By tying different subjects together with a unified theme, students create meaningful connections and are more likely to retain details. This holistic teaching model is used in preschool, kindergarten and throughout the Lower School - not only because it makes learning fun, but because it creates a well-balanced curriculum for young minds.
