Description:
At Beacon Day School, we share a single vision: to prepare our students to be passionate, life-long learners who are productive, healthy contributors in an ever-changing world. Beacon has delivered on this promise since 1982, because Beacon Day School is as powerful and innovative in its practice as it is in its theory.
In addition to our preschool, Beacon enrolls students in grades K to 8.
Additional Information:At Beacon, we know that young children learn best from their own actions in the world around them. We provide an appropriately structured and nurturing program for children ages 3 through 5 to learn through play and free exploration with a rich array of materials. Our teachers understand child development and will build upon what your child brings to the classroom to prepare him or her for what comes next.
Beacon’s program emphasizes language enrichment through discovery and play. Prereading and premath activities emphasize patterns, concepts and vocabulary over work with letters and numerals. Science, social studies, health and safety, and cultural awareness are taught via both formal and discovery methods, including celebrations of diverse cultural events. Social and emotional growth activities are adapted especially for young children.
Our teachers thematically integrate art, music, dance and movement every day. Students regularly attend a music class and a dance class taught by our skilled artist-teachers in their studio-classrooms. The physical exercise program, both indoors and out, includes two 45-minute recesses daily. Our ceramics program helps develop fine motor and creative skills. Our classroom garden teaches students about how plants grow, where food comes from, and how to nurture living things.
