King SCHOOL
Private Preschool in Stamford, CT
Learn how preschool education prepares children for success
When preschool children see education as a place to experiment, create, construct, and connect, they develop a more expansive mindset about what school can offer them. They experience education as a path of discovery, understanding, wonder, and joy.
These ideas are grounded in the Reggio-Emilia-inspired, project-based teaching and learning practiced in the King School Preschool. We encourage our PreKindergarten (starting at age 3) and Kindergarten learners to collaboratively explore intentionally created vibrant classroom spaces where children are actively engaged in the process of learning from the earliest ages.

Language Arts |
Children’s early literacy skills emerge as they begin to write and read. Our workshop approach engages students with material that is of high interest and aligns with their personal goals. Students begin to develop as skilled readers and writers as they learn through project work and delve deeply into topics of interest. Teachers address whole group skills and differentiate for the needs of each student within smaller groups and one-on-one meetings. Science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) Students observe, discover, predict, and question. Makerspace, Lower School Science Lab, Computer Science Media Center, and classroom activities all provide inspiration and tools for students to tinker and practice designing solutions to real-world problems, so students gain a greater sense of self-confidence and purpose.
