Reflecting the belief that children are capable, competent, and ready to take more ownership over their learning, Harmony’s Pre-K & Kindergarten offers greater Newburyport families an intimate environment perfectly balancing intellectual skill-building with inquiry- and play-based social-emotional growth, while meeting each child in his or her individual development as outlined in the following tracks.

Pre-K - age 4½ by Sept. 1 
Kindergarten - age 5 by Sept. 1 - will emerge prepared for 1st Grade

The Harmony Approach remains our foundation—harnessing children’s unique interests, curiosity, and creativity as the driving force behind their intellectual learning, while simultaneously focusing on emotional self-regulation, perseverance, critical thinking, mastery of interpersonal skills and character development. Our Pre-K & Kindergarten classroom features a low student-to-teacher ratio, creating an intimate learning environment within a strong community. The outdoors are an extension of the classroom, and every day—season to season—children spend abundant time outside, exploring our Big Backyard.  

Our Pre-K & Kindergarten provides an invaluable social, emotional, and academic transition between preschool and elementary school—imparting all academic abilities required by Massachusetts’ Kindergarten Curriculum Frameworks, and allowing your child to emerge fully prepared for the next step of his or her educational journey.
