Our goal is to provide a high quality environment, which is rich in stimulation, interaction, discussion, and activity, while teaching children to seek additional information. During each day at our school there are structured, unstructured, active, and quiet activities. These may include art, music, and story time, outdoor play, puppetry, block play and dress up.
Our curriculum is based on sophisticated approach of alternating teacher-directed formal instruction with child-directed exploration and play. We help children become familiar with colors, shapes, letters, numbers, and learn skills that will help them build a foundation for their continued schooling.
Weekly curriculum consists of math, science, social studies, art, and language development. Our daily activities include music, circle time, dramatic play, gross and small motor movement. Indeed, music is incorporated into the daily routine where children have numerous opportunities to sing, dance, listen to music, and play various instruments.Skills used in living - friendship, compassion, cooperation, and kindness - are as much part of our curriculum as math and science.
The Abbott School Families
We are interested in attracting that group of parents who care deeply about their role in raising "good people" who will be able to use their skills and talents in an increasingly complex world. We understand the difficulties that parents face in raising thoughtful, caring children. Parents are in the best position to shape family experiences and they know their choices will have definite impact on their children. Our teachers are committed to helping families in this process.
