Early Childhood (3’s & 4’s)

Imagine a Pre-K program where young children hike trails, climb trees, build towers, paint masterpieces, and begin learning French, all while spending their days immersed in a nurturing, language-rich environment. By design, Maple Street School’s Pre-K program allows your child to explore, play, imagine, create, and experience the joys of childhood while building foundational knowledge and learning to be respectful, caring classmates and friends. Enrollment is capped at 15 children.

For some children, this will be their first experience with structured days away from home. Others may have attended daycare or preschool elsewhere. Regardless of background, our warm and welcoming environment provides flexibility, structure, and individual attention to help children make the transition.

After launching at the Southern Vermont Arts Center in 2023, our program is coming home. Starting in the 2027–2028 school year, our 3’s and 4’s will move to our newly renovated main campus, which will be ready by summer 2027. The artist renderings below offer a first look at our new early childhood space, which will also include a brand-new outdoor area designed for our youngest learners.
