The Children's Studio

"Children are so capable and very powerful when their interests and questions are valued."

This quote captures the heart of everything we believe at our school.

At the Children's Studio Preschool, we value children's curiosity and interests, fostering an environment that encourages profound learning.

Inspired by the Reggio Emilia method, we prioritize listening and collaboration, trusting children as capable thinkers, creators, and problem solvers.

Mark your calendars! We're excited to announce our second Open House of the season, happening on February 21st, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM.

Enrollment is now open for our Summer and Fall sessions of 2025.

We at The Children’s Studio are excited to announce that Summer and Fall registration is now open and we would like to invite you to tour our school during the month of February!

Our program is built on the philosophy of leading experts such as: Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky and Jerome Bruner to name a few, but our most recent inspiration has come from Reggio Emilia Schools in Italy. In an effort to create a multi-disciplinary curriculum CS incorporates a variety of cultural experiences in conjunction with the typical academic disciplines. These additional areas include visual art, music appreciation, cooking and gardening, all enjoyed in development which the children gain the confidence to question, explore and learn.

The Children's Studio would like to announce that our Pumpkin People in the Park display is up! We invite all current and former Children's Studio families, as well as the wider community, to come enjoy the beautiful art created by our children.

Thank you, Ms. Judy, for working so hard alongside us to make this display possible.
