Services
Established in 1966, the Village School has been providing the families of Milton and the surrounding communities with a safe and nurturing learning environment for over fifty years. The school is governed by a board of trustees comprised of Village School parents. At the Village School, we implement an emergent and developmental curriculum.
Our historic shingled building is situated on several beautifully wooded acres in a residential neighborhood of Milton. Our school is part of the campus of St. Michael's Episcopal Church, and provides a safe, bucolic, and inviting setting with plenty of green space.
The facility at the Village School includes three spacious and sunny classrooms with library spaces, writing centers, science and discovery areas, space for dramatic play, sand and water tables, block and construction areas, and lofts in each classroom.We also have a lending library, with an extensive array of children's books, as well as parenting books and guides.

The Village School offers two, three, and five day morning programs, a pre-K program that includes two full days, and extended day programs on two days. These stories from our classrooms capture two vital components of the Village School: our emergent curriculum and our home - school partnership. What's so fun about the Village School is the creativity and curiosity that children bring each day.
The admissions process typically begins with a phone conversation about the school and a visit to learn more about our program. During a visit to the school, families have an opportunity to meet with the director and observe classrooms. At this time, families are given written information about the program, an application, contact information of some current families for references, and a tuition schedule.

When we moved to Milton, we looked at the preschool options and there was one clear winner: the Village School! They offer an exceptional play-based and emergent curriculum where the kids foster strong friendships and they learn to be caring and compassionate members of their community. The children enjoy outside play and nature, I love that they get fresh air in all types of weather. The faculty is kind, knowledgeable, and committed. The parent community is amazing and allowed me to meet many new friends as a newcomer to Milton. It's a hidden gem and provided a great foundation for my daughter

We knew when our family started our journey at The Village School that it was a bucolic setting with a beautiful outdoor space, bright and cheery classrooms with fantastic teacher/student ratios, and the emergent play-based curriculum that we were looking for. What we didn't know is that The Village School would become the cornerstone of our family life and set the foundation for lasting friendships and connections for our kids and us too. The director and teachers are so devoted and dedicated to getting to know each individual child and meeting them on their unique educational continuum. Even

Our kids (and us) have had the best experience there! The children are immersed in a nurturing and loving environment and constantly learn as they interact, build, play, create and have a great time. The director and teachers are amazing and they have really helped our kids develop the social and educational skills to transition well into kindergarten. We love the Village School!

All three of my children have attended the Village School and could not have had a more magical preschool experience. The nurturing, play-based environment, top notch staff and commitment to outdoor play was the perfect introduction to school and fully prepared my kids to be confident, independent kindergartners.
