South Hadley Preschools

Blessed Sacrament Preschool offers separate programs for 3 year olds and 4 year olds. Full day and half day programs are available as well as a 2-5 day per week option for 3 year olds and a 3-5 day per week option for the 4 year olds. Our Preschool uses a curriculum that promotes learning through centers, storytelling and a variety of hands on materials and techniques that will enhance your child's natural curiosity for learning, as well as building a Christian Character of loving and caring towards others. Preschoolers will develop the necessary skills to be ready for the challenges of Kindergarten and guide them in the foundation of the Catholic Faith. Both before and after school care is available for preschool students. Students must be 3 and 4 years old by September 1st and COMPLETELY potty-trained to enroll in our program.

By the end of Kindergarten, children are able to read at their own ability level, organize information, and develop a strong sense of social responsibility.

I am a State licensed Provider with 16 years of experience with children. I have an Associates Degree in Early Childhood Program. I have worked in preschools and private day care centers. I provide a home like environment where children feel happy and safe while learning with love and care.

My daycare is designed around parents who work a school year schedule: Sept to June. There is no charge for the major vacations and for the summer months. My mission is to have the children feel safe and happy. Each day is structured around a learning environment that is appropriate for the child's overall growth and development.

The Kids' Place provides a quality early education and care experience to each and every child and family served. We are a place where each child has fun and feels loved, respected, and celebrated. We embrace the uniqueness of every child, to meet every child where they are individually and lift them up to build their self-esteem. We maximize every child's potential for development and learning emotionally, socially, physically, cognitively and in language development.
