Early Learning Center, located on Route 5 & 10 about a half-mile south of Deerfield Academy, offers early education and care for children from infancy through preschool. Teaching staff are certified by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care and participate in ongoing professional development.
Early Learning Center provides full-day early education and care for children from infancy through the preschool years. The centre serves families connected to Deerfield Academy and nearby schools as well as the local community.
The program uses a curriculum that connects children to their families, cultures, community, and the natural environment. Lessons are planned to support executive function skills and development across five learning domains: Social/Emotional, Language and Literacy, Cognitive, Physical Health and Well Being, and Approaches to Learning. Teaching strategies include scaffolding, theme-based and emergent approaches, and learning through child-initiated and teacher-supported play.
Classrooms are arranged with defined learning areas (active play, dramatic play, art, sensory, literacy, block and science centers) and child-sized furnishings and materials. Daily routines include circle time, meals, outdoor play when weather permits, and rest periods to provide predictability for children.
Care begins at 3 months with a low child/teacher ratio (7 infants with 3 teachers); curriculum activities and teacher-child interactions support the five main learning domains and each infant follows individual feeding and sleep schedules.
Provides care for older preschoolers with classroom learning centers (dramatic play, blocks, art, science, literacy), teacher-led large- and small-group activities, and a predictable daily schedule to support development across the five learning domains.
Provides a safe, supportive environment beginning at 15 months with an open layout and defined areas for active play, dramatic play, art, sensory, and quiet time; curriculum is theme-based and supports the five learning domains.
Offers care for older toddlers and young preschoolers in a child-friendly space with defined learning centers; curriculum combines learning through play, theme-based activities, and emergent projects tailored to children's interests.
