For more than fifty years, Steeple School has been recognized as a leader in early childhood education. In fact, we were one of the first early childhood programs in the area – and have grown to offer specialized classes for children ages 2.9 through 5 years old.

With Developmentally Appropriate Programming, MA Dept. of Education’s Toddler and Preschool Frameworks combined with the Reggio Emilia philosophy, we strive to educate the children in all domains.

Creativity is valued through partnerships with local artists, musicians, and yogis to provide a well-rounded program that features a strong community connection and investment.

Our Certified Outdoor Classroom and S.T.E.M. L.A.B. gives children an opportunity to play, inquire and observe the natural world.

Our Philosophy

Our purpose is to provide a safe, healthy and emotionally secure environment which invites learning and affirms a child’s self-worth. We believe that each child grows and learns at his/her own developmental pace.

The foundation of our curriculum provides a variety of learning and play-based opportunities which stimulate the child’s social, emotional, intellectual and physical growth.

We Value:

• The opportunity to fulfill the human potential of all children.
• The physical and emotional health and safety for all children.
• Play as the work of the child.
• Well-trained teachers who believe in a positive environment.
• The individual – and the unique and valuable character of each child and the freedom to progress at their own pace.
