Academic Philosophy
A Strong Foundation for Boys and Girls
In cheerful and colorful spaces, the Preschool at Kent Place School engages all of a child’s senses — and most of all the sense of wonder. As boys and girls form letters out of Play-Doh, share stories, sing and build with blocks, our accomplished teachers help them discover new worlds. We encourage children’s boundless curiosity, directing their exuberance into academic, social, emotional and physical growth. In this warm and caring community, we help each child develop a strong framework to build on in Kindergarten, in primary school and through a lifetime of learning.
"Educating the whole child - your child - through developmentally appropriate practices that nurture and support the social, emotional, intellectual and physical growth and development of each student is the hallmark of our Preschool Program."
-Dr. Adunni Anderson, Director of the Primary School
