Our Mission
The mission of the Penn Brook Integrated Preschool Program is to ensure that all preschool-aged children have the opportunity to engage in an inclusive setting that is both play-based and developmentally appropriate. We believe that early childhood is a time for children to build their sense of self, experience new friendships, and fall in love with the educational process.
Curriculum
Our curriculum is embedded in the Massachusetts Learning Standards for Prekindergarten. Utilizing the Guidelines for Preschool and Kindergarten Learning Experiences, we create activities which support student learning while encouraging student-directed exploration and fun!
