Join us for Take a Look Tuesday at Connecticut Friends Preschool on February 26th from 9:30am to 11am while school is in session. For safety purposes please e-mail kathy@ctfriendspreschool.org or call 203-762-9860 and let us know you may stop by. Learn all about our Reggio-inspired, play-based curriculum that gently weaves the Quaker Values of SPICES (Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, Equality & Stewardship) into the classroom dynamic and tour our newly renovated classrooms and nature-filled 5 acre campus.

At CFS, Children develop problem solving skills, independence, confidence, empathy and a love of learning while also forming a meaningful connection to nature on our tree-filled, 5-acre campus which includes a beautiful playground under a canopy of trees and an impressive garden. The classrooms are set up with various developmentally enriching “Centers” around the room and enhanced with inviting and interesting provocations that our experienced teachers set out for our curious and inquiring Friends to discover each day. In addition to outside time, snack time, and story time children are able to immerse themselves as they wish in this classroom setting. There are learning-through-play opportunities abound in the Block Center, Writing Center, Dramatic Play Center, the Library, Manipulatives, Sensory Table, Parts of Things, the Science Center and Art. Emotional learning is also emphasized as children learn to honor their feelings, peacefully navigate conflict, and to respect and value others. Each day also includes practice in mindfulness.
