Where Education Meets Socialization

Welcome to Preschool Social Academy: the only Reggio-inspired, full-day education program for preschoolers north of Boston.

Kindergarten Readiness Taught by Highly Qualified Teachers

PSA is not a day care center.

It is a next step structured preschool program where Kindergarten readiness is at the forefront of everything we do.

• Kindergarten readiness

  • We construct our data-based curriculum using Boston-based research to combine developmentally appropriate practices, inquiry-based learning, and child-led education.

• Devoted Teachers that far surpass the industry standard

  • PSA has 5 classrooms and 5 teachers with at least a bachelor’s degree or MORE in early childhood or a related field.

• Outdoor Learning

  • Our commitment to spending 30% of our day outdoors for the children’s mental, physical, and emotional well being.

WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE?

• Our unique location

  • School grounds are on the Tri-Community Greenway, disconnected from vehicular traffic

  • Safe, secluded environment allows for extensive nature-based exploration

• Natural learning environment

  • Winchester’s historical Aberjona River runs parallel to our school and provides an immersive backdrop for nature-based science lessons, enriching our curriculum with real life exploration

• Transformation and expansion

  • In 2008, PSA had only a single classroom and 4 students. Today, we have 5 classes, 20 teachers, and over 100 students!

WHY THE #REGGIOAPPROACH FOR YOUR CHILD’S EDUCATION? WHAT’S THE REGGIO DIFFERENCE?

As the only Reggio-inspired school north of Boston, we take great pride in rooting our curriculum in the Reggio principles:

• Child-Centric Philosophy

  • Reggio Emilia Approach sees children as capable learners born with a vast potential for development and rights to learning.

• "Hundred Languages" Perspective:

  • Children learn and express themselves through various “languages” - not just speech, but art, movement, and interaction with one another, fostering a sense of community and shared learning.

• Active Participation

  • Children are viewed as active contributors, encouraged to explore, create, and express themselves freely as citizens within our community.

• Unconventional Learning

  • The Reggio approach fosters a love for learning by acknowledging each child's unique abilities and encouraging diverse forms of expression and exploration.
