Parents visiting Knoll-Edge often ask, what is your educational philosophy? People also want to know on which theorists we base our curriculum, our interactions with children, and our style of child guidance. Knoll-Edge follows the Constructivist Theory of Early Childhood Development. The day consists of soft music, stories, sensory and movement activities, and outside time.
Services
The day consists of soft music, stories, sensory and movement activities, and outside time. We have loving and nurturing teachers who will offer a stimulating environment to foster your baby's growth and development. Toddlers learn from playing in a warm, inviting environment with familiar activities.
Knoll-Edge values outdoor activities. Even as infants, the children are taken out twice daily for walks on the Rail-Trail. Being close to the train station, we chose a fifteen foot train for our playground. The children use the train for climbing and imaginative play. We also have Tricycles and push carts that are used to help develop muscles used for peddling.
We had a vision. A vision that incorporated an outdoor environment that created ample space to explore, run, dig in the sandbox, and use our imaginations on the train. Our vision went further than this however. We simultaneously created an environment that promoted outdoor learning. An environment that took all of our wonderful years of learning in the classroom, outdoors.
Knoll-Edge is so fortunate to have this beautiful walk of discovery right around the corner, that we call The Rail Trail. We consider it our 3rd classroom! No matter what age, infant class - Pre-K, your child will venture on this trail weekly. Scavenger hunts, collecting leaves, and journaling are only a few of the wonderful activities we implement on the Rail Trail.

Knoll-Edge is an incredibly special school. Our 2 children have been attending for almost 3 years. I can’t say enough about how wonderful each of the staff members are. Our kids are always happy going into school. We have continued going to Knoll-Edge, after moving a couple towns away, because I wouldn’t want to send my kids anywhere else. Highly recommend!

My toddler started at Knoll-Edge in October after a recommendation from another local family and we have had a fantastic experience! The staff are warm, kind, and extremely responsive to any questions we have. We love being able to see pictures of our child doing his activities throughout the day via their app. The activities are educational and very creative (music, art, science experiments, nature walks). I appreciate the emphasis they put on learning through nature. We highly recommend Knoll-Edge!

Our 3.5 year old daughter has attended Knoll Edge since she was 8 months and our 2 year old son since he was 5 months. Every member of staff is remarkable in the level of care and love they show our little ones. Both kids bounce enthusiastically into school each day and they learn so much with such ease. I cannot praise Knoll Edge enough. It is extremely well run by people who genuinely love what they do. I wouldn’t want my babies anywhere else 😊.

We chose Knoll Edge for our daughters after touring all of the daycares in Newburyport and are so glad we did.
When one of the teachers asked how my co-worker’s (now college age) son was doing, we knew we had found a daycare that is truly part of the community.
There is no better review I can leave than to say our toddler doesn’t look back when we drop her off!
