A Place Where Curiosity Blossoms and Independence Grows

At Bay Farm's Children's House, children in preschool, pre-K, and Kindergarten discover a joyful learning environment where curiosity leads the way. Here, young learners develop the foundational skills, confidence, and social awareness that set the stage for success, both in school and in life.

Our thoughtfully prepared classrooms encourage children to explore, create, and collaborate through hands-on activities that build independence and a love of learning.

Growing Socially and Emotionally

Children's House is also a vibrant community where children learn to work and play together respectfully. Through group activities, conflict resolution, and daily routines, they develop important social skills, including:

  • ●Cooperation and sharing
  • ●Self-regulation and patience
  • ●Empathy and kindness
  • ●Responsibility and independence

These social-emotional skills are woven seamlessly into everyday life, helping children build strong relationships and a positive sense of self.

Good to Know

Does my child need to be toilet trained?
No. Toilet training is a partnership between school and home, and your child's teachers will work with you throughout the year.
Is there rest time?
Yes. Naps are offered for children who still nap.
How do snack and lunch work?
Snack and lunch follow Montessori practice. Children help prepare snack, set the table, use cloth napkins, and clean their own dishes. Full-day children bring a packed lunch from home.
