Walk into the Preschool at The Enchanted Garden and you’ll quickly see why children love to learn here. Rooted in the Bank Street philosophy, our play-based program nurtures the whole child emotionally, socially, intellectually, and physically through hands-on exploration, creativity, meaningful relationships, and imaginative play.

​

Learning Through Play
Children build knowledge through active, meaningful experiences. Whether they are cooking, building with blocks, creating art, exploring nature, or acting out stories, they are developing problem-solving skills, confidence, creativity, and curiosity.

​

Hands-On Learning Every Day
Our classrooms are filled with opportunities for discovery through art, music, storytelling, sensory play, movement, and creative exploration. We also introduce children to the richness of the wider world through stories, songs, traditions, and activities inspired by different cultures in joyful, age-appropriate ways.

​

A Caring, Inclusive Community
In keeping with Bank Street’s emphasis on social-emotional growth, our classrooms are warm, welcoming spaces where children learn to listen, share, collaborate, and build strong friendships. We help every child develop confidence, kindness, and a strong sense of belonging.

Educators Who Inspire Wonder
Our experienced teachers guide each child’s learning journey with warmth, respect, and intention. They observe closely, listen carefully, and create thoughtful experiences that nurture each child’s strengths, interests, and growth.

​

Beautiful Spaces for Play and Discovery
Our classrooms are vibrant, imaginative spaces designed to spark curiosity and delight. From cozy storytelling corners to creative play areas and discovery centers, every corner invites children to dream, explore, and create while feeling safe, known, and at home.

​

Daily Outdoor Play and Nature Exploration
Children spend meaningful time outdoors every day, exploring, moving, imagining, and connecting with the natural world. From digging and building to observing seasonal changes and engaging in nature-based discovery, outdoor play helps children build confidence, coordination, resilience, and a love of nature. Our indoor gyms also support active play all year long, even in rain or snow.

​

Transitional Kindergarten: A Confident Next Step
For older preschoolers, our transitional kindergarten offers a gentle, developmentally appropriate bridge to elementary school. With a focus on social-emotional readiness, early literacy, independence, and hands-on learning, children build the tools and self-assurance they need to thrive in kindergarten and beyond.
