Barton House Playschool

Overview

Barton House Playschool is a nonprofit, Christian early childhood program serving children beginning at two years and nine months through kindergarten. The program emphasizes play-based learning and hands-on discovery to support social, physical, cognitive, emotional and spiritual development.

Approach and curriculum

The program uses a play-based, individualized approach that integrates art, music, math, science, language, dramatic play, outdoor activities and field trips. Instruction is described as non-pressured and focused on whole‑child development, with activities designed to build both gross and fine motor skills as well as academic foundations through play.

Staff, ratios and qualifications

Faculty meet or exceed state licensing requirements.
Teachers are certified in First Aid and CPR.
Typical teacher-to-child ratio is listed as 1:12, with many classrooms staffed by a teacher and an aide to reduce ratios further.

Health, safety and family communication

Health and safety practices include daily health checks and regular cleaning and sanitization; a sick‑child policy requires children to be symptom free for at least 24 hours before returning.
Brightwheel is used for check‑in/out, parent/teacher communication, and payments.
Families are encouraged to participate through volunteering, parent conferences and a parent advisory board.
