First Years Preschool

Every child is different. Each develops at his or her own particular pace, marching to the beat of their own distinct drum. An effective preschool program stays in step with the rhythms of each child, gently guiding toward security and sound development.

First Years offers a very personal program. It is designed to nurture each child through every aspect of development- emotional, social, physical and cognitive-at his or her own rate of readiness. We start with the cornerstone of separation and attachment. As parents, you are their safe haven, their protectors. We are new and unknown, often the first caretaker outside the home. It takes time for children to incorporate us into their internal circle of trust. At First Years we work step by careful step to provide a safe environment as children enter our program. Our goal is to have them move forward in independence while being supported by the familiar. Each child walks through this process along a path that is right for them. For some it occurs swiftly. For other it may take longer. There is no one right way.
