Our curriculum and philosophy are based on the principles of respect, responsibility and community through exploration and discovery in a supportive and enriching environment..
In September 2013, our preschool program and kindergarten classes re-opened in the Early Childhood Center at Reddington Hall on the school’s current campus. Renovations of Reddington Hall helped to create a bright, easily accessible and spacious setting for our young children.

The New York State Prekindergarten Foundation for the Common Core is organized into five broad developmental and interrelated domains. The five distinct, but highly interrelated, domains provide the structure for the New York State Prekindergarten Foundation for the Common Core. A brief description of each domain appears below.
Approaches to Learning—How children become involved in learning and acquiring knowledge.
Physical Development and Health—Children’s physical health and ability to engage in daily activities.
Social and Emotional Development—The emotional competence and ability to form positive relationships that give meaning to children’s experiences in the home, school and larger community.
Communication, Language and Literacy—How children understand, create and communicate meaning.
Cognition and Knowledge of the World—What children need to know and understand about their world and how they apply what they know. This domain is a direct reflection of the content competencies and knowledge of the New York State Common Core Standards.
