Providing a Supportive & Engaging First School Experience

Our Mission

The principal purpose of the Josiah Hayden Pre-School is to provide a supportive, developmentally appropriate, and

positive first school experience for every child.

We believe that play is essential to whole-child development. Through imagination, creativity, and exploration, children

build confidence, express themselves, and develop meaningful connections in a safe and encouraging space.

Our focus is on nurturing the whole child—emotionally, cognitively, socially, physically, and creatively—through a balance of structured learning, free choice, and play.

Curriculum and Philosophy

• Engaging Themes & Daily Discussions: Foster language, literacy, math, and scientific thinking
• Play-Based Learning: Encourages creativity, imagination, and independence
• Self-Help Skills: Supported by staff to build confidence and autonomy
• Cultural Inclusion: Celebrating the diverse backgrounds of our community
• Small Group Ratios: Exceed state requirements for individualized attention
