Our Philosophy

Investigation - Experimentation - Work and Play

The educational philosophy at Roxbury Weston Programs Preschool recognizes the developmental needs of the whole child with equal emphasis placed on physical. emotional, social and intellectual growth.

Children at the Preschool learn through experimentation and investigation. The staff, in cooperation with parents, nurtures children's development, anticipates their growth, and shares their efforts and successes. The classrooms are designed to offer children security to work and play in a safe, happy and stimulating environment. Teachers design the curriculum to meet each child's individual interests and needs, understanding that each child learns at his or her own pace and in his her own way and time.
