The main goal at The Learning Garden is to develop a positive self-esteem and a love of learning in each child. We strive to see children as individuals and to provide an atmosphere of acceptance and growth.
In all of the programs offered at The Learning Garden Preschool, we allow for differences in each child's personality and developmental level. Below are some general guidelines. Please keep in mind that each child is an individual and will be treated as such.

This program is designed with the young preschooler in mind. The emphasis here is on social skills and an introduction to school. We will also introduce letters, shapes, colors, and numbers. We accept children age 2.9 and up for this program.Pre-Kindergarten

Children enrolled in our Kindergarten program will have the benefit of individualized attention. We will work in a small group toward the goals and objectives outlined in the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. Three progress reports issued during the school year will reflect the expectations of the Billerica Public Schools.
