For many children, preschool is their first experience in a structured setting with teachers and groups of children. It's an opportunity to learn to share, follow instructions, and begin the foundation for learning that will occur in elementary school. At Msgr. Clarke, we provide a safe, warm nurturing atmosphere where children can actively explore their environment and materials and build concept knowledge and critical thinking skills. Our teachers strive to nurture each child's individuality and innate curiosities while instilling a lifelong love for learning as they prepare your children for kindergarten and the world beyond. Jr. Waves who graduate from our program will have the first opportunity to advance to our Kindergarten program and continue on in our rigorous academic elementary and middle school programs. Interested applicants are encouraged to apply early as space is very limited. Full and Half Day Options are available.

At Little Angels, our program nurtures warm relationships among children, teachers and parents. Our Little Angels get the benefit of our beautiful facility and often get out of the classroom to visit the library, gym and participate in other school wide programs.

Preschool
Curious Minds Early Learning Center is an early childhood community for children (and their families) from 18 months until the end of 5th grade. In this center families can feel like they have brought their child to the place where they can truly grow and thrive. A place where they will not only learn, but grow mentally, socially, emotionally and independently. They are in, not only capable and caring hands, but the hands of people who will look at them as individuals and want the best for them in every scenario. Children who walk through our doors will be encouraged to embrace their one unique self, they will begin to develop their own autonomy and identity. They will be in a safe place that encourages them to reach new heights, explore beyond regular boundaries and embrace exploration and learning. This is an inclusive environment that encourages all children, of all abilities, neurodiversity’s and backgrounds to join and become an important member. Once a student has joined CMELC, they will always remain a part of the fabric of our community. They are welcomed back for visits, possible employment and maybe someday they will look forward to sending their own children to Curious Minds to get the same great educational start they did. We hope to become a fond memory for every child who is nourished here.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Wakefield, RI

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Wakefield, RI. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift. A part-time preschool can be a great option if you want to ease the transition of this new learning experience for your child! You can also check your options in Wakefield, RI for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Wakefield, RI, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Wakefield, RI.

When looking for a preschool near you in Wakefield, RI on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code.
