COLONIAL CHILDREN’S ACADEMY Housed at Minuteman Regional Vocational High School 758 Marrett Rd., Lexington (781) 861-6500, ext. 7389, www.minuteman.org

Director: Michelle Roche Coordinator Lead: Anne-Marie Merrill Lead Teacher: Shaina Shaw Age Range: 2.9 to 5 years

Hours and Schedule: The Colonial Children’s Academy follows Minuteman High School’s calendar. Open 5 days a week, Monday through Friday from 7 a.m.-4 p.m.

Facilities: Minuteman’s high school setting allows the preschool students to explore many of the school’s career and readiness programs, and use facilities such as their large indoor gym.

Program/Philosophy: Colonial Children’s Academy provides a safe, nurturing and education-enriched environment. The program features STEM activities, outdoor and indoor recreation, music, literacy and cooperative play all within their daily schedule.

Our emergent curriculum is developed from the children’s current interests and skill levels. Using the theory of “loose parts,” children use their imagination to guide their learning and explore their environments. Student to teacher ratio far exceeds the state standards providing additional guidance and support throughout the day.

Enrollment Process: A tour of the facility begins the intake process. Applications are accepted year-round. Rolling enrollment if spaces are available.

Please contact Rose Sullivan (rsullivan@minuteman.org) if you have any questions.
