Harmony's Preschool program cultivates social and emotional development and the foundation of kindergarten readiness in a beautiful, calm, inquiry- and play-based learning environment boasting teacher-to-student ratios unrivaled in greater Newburyport. Every morning—season to season—our Preschoolers enjoy an hour outdoors, exploring our Big Backyard.

Our teachers excel at helping Preschoolers develop emotional self-regulation, impulse control, personal responsibility, taking care of others, perseverance, critical thinking, mastery of interpersonal skills, and character development. A primary focus of our program is to foster in children a deep respect for their learning environment, peers, and teachers. These elements form a vital foundation for lifelong learning skills. 

Harmony’s proprietary Enchanted Storytelling Literacy Curriculum is a cornerstone of our Preschool program. This inquiry- and play-based model expertly interconnects intellectual skills and nurtures a deep love for stories and language through oral and visual storytelling, sequencing and written word connections, numeracy concepts, science exploration, and child-led play themes. Children emerge from our Preschool program well-equipped for Pre-K & Kindergarten at Harmony or traditional Kindergarten elsewhere.
