About the Program:
At the John Winthrop School for Young Children, the child is at the center of all we do. We believe that children thrive in a playful environment that supports their development of a lifelong love of learning. Children’s development is nurtured on a continuous and individual basis. Teachers gain deep insight into children’s development using observation, conversation, a standardized norm-referenced developmental screening, and meetings with our Early Childhood Development Consultant. Classroom experiences are planned based on teachers’ extensive knowledge of child development and their in-depth understanding of each individual child. The curriculum is also informed by children’s curiosity, community events or resources, family interests, and topics that are worthwhile and relevant.
