why choose Landmark Preschool?

AT OUR CORE INTENTIONAL CONNECTEDNESS

For most young children, preschool is the first time they will step beyond their home routines.

With a keen focus on connectedness, Landmark Preschool fosters a caring, collaborative school environment so your child’s first experience building a community beyond family will guide their development of social skills like sharing, kindness, and problem solving. This commitment of connectedness through learning and community is carried from Landmark Preschool through Grade 8 at Ridgefield Academy.

JOYFUL LEARNING

Landmark Preschool students love going to school. While they may feel like they are at play, their minds are busy at work. Professionally trained teachers nurture their curiosity with a spirit of joyful discovery. Each child is encouraged and supported to ask and learn, transforming their daydreams into thoughtful questions that begin with “what if ” and “how does?” This broad array of academic, social, and developmental lessons forms a cohesive program which prepares them for the next stage.

AUTHENTICALLY SELF-ASSURED KIDS

When children feel safe, they are open to learning. Landmark Preschool teachers create an environment where students are encouraged to explore and imagine. Their sense of confidence empowers them to take the first early steps toward becoming leaders, creative problem solvers, and good communicators. They are prepared to succeed in elementary school and beyond.

A CURRICULUM TO FIT EVERY STAGE ONES PROGRAM

Through creative and stimulating stories, art projects, and music and movement, you will join your child as they begin to learn about themselves and the world around them in our dynamic Fun for Ones Program.

TWOS PROGRAM

Children take their first steps toward independence as they join our stimulating Twos program without a parent and create connections with seasoned teachers.

Twos will practice taking turns, sharing with friends, and using classroom materials appropriately.

THREES PROGRAM

Children entering the Threes program are more independent and ready for increased challenges. We introduce students to a multisensory handwriting program and begin using manipulatives to teach basic math concepts. World language, technology, literacy, physical education, the arts and science are taught through a monthly theme.

FOURS PROGRAM

Learning is a playful, social experience in our Fours Program.

Teachers use games and manipulatives to introduce math, phonics and writing skills.

Art, music, technology, physical education, science, world language, and off-campus field trips further enrich this program.

FUNDAMENTALS PROGRAM

Offered in Westport only, the Fundamentals Program provides a highly personalized learning experience for children who will be five years old on or before December.

This enriched, engaging program combines the best elements of a fives preschool program and an accredited Kindergarten.
