The Mead School, long known as a pioneer in progressive education, has also been at the forefront of providing high quality early childhood care and education since 1985.

At Mead, we understand that enrolling your child in an early learning program is a significant event for your family, and we are honored to play such an important part in your child’s young life.

 

Our professional staff is comprised of diverse and dedicated teachers, each with his or her own set of unique skills and perspectives. They understand that rich, trusting relationships are the foundation for healthy development and work to create an environment where children feel safe, valued and empowered. This includes helping each child move from the small culture of the home to the still small, but significantly larger society of the classroom environment.  

 

Mead’s developmentally appropriate approach to early childhood care and education focuses on the whole child. From our youngest infant to our oldest preschooler, The Mead School Child Care Program is dedicated to helping each child find the center of his or her own vitality and creativity, and to allow as much of their potential to unfold as early in life as possible. 

 

The program’s architecture and interior design reflect an openness that encourages exploration and discovery. Our spacious classrooms evolve with the children, as we move through each year, supporting optimum growth and development every step of the way. 

 

We believe that providing an educationally and developmentally appropriate program for all children establishes a foundation for a lifelong love of learning. As a parent, you are your child’s first and most important teacher. No one knows your daughter or son better than you. We invite you to share your knowledge and experience with us. Together, we can nurture and support your child’s journey through the early childhood years.
