Edgewood House Preschool was founded to provide children, teachers, and families a child-centered, extended day and full day preschool program in an intimate small group environment. Our indoor and outdoor environments are equally accessible throughout our program day and our programs present learning concepts through hands-on exploration of the world around us; introducing academic and social concepts within a non-competitive environment.
Our primary goal is to provide a philosophically balanced approach to early childhood education, care giving, and teaching; readying children for the adventures beyond our doors. We have spearheaded the efforts to create and grow Edgewood House with the support of many friends, colleagues, and former parents.

Services
Mutual respect, honesty and personal responsibility are key elements as we work to build a community of learners. Attention to each child acknowledges the uniqueness of that individual; building upon strengths to progress to the next stage of development. A "training ground for real life"; EHS encourages each child to become a self-directed, active thinking, lifetime learner through exploration of their interests.
As a community of learners, children and teachers will collaborate to create opportunities that inspire learning. Most of the Edgewood House curriculum will be based on themes that have been gleaned from the children's play. Some curriculum will be spontaneous as it emerges from play and a teacher guides an activity at the moment of discovery.
Children assist in setting up to help make meaning of their day, choosing colors for paint easels, setting up sensory/water table, making table activity choices, helping teachers dry off the swings.etc. At 9:00-9:30, snack table opens for snack. Mini clean up happens before transition to morning meeting.
EHS is exactly the school we were looking for. A school with a powerful vision, that puts children's emotional wholeness and well being above academic achievement. Miss Janessa, Miss Mallory, and the EHS team are amazing teachers. They are consistent with what the say and their actions. They took the time to meet with my wife and I to discuss what was important to us, how we wanted certain things handled, and answer any questions we had.
