Reggio inspired, play-based Approach
Our preschool program serves as a great first learning experience, helping young children transition into a warm and nurturing school environment that helps foster independence, community, and exploration. Teachers encourage thoughtful interactions and relationship building, as they help children understand the art of negotiation, effective communication, and conflict resolution, allowing them to establish a deeper bond with their peers. Our classrooms provide a sensory rich environment with quality learning materials that provoke children’s curiosity, foster a spirit of collaboration and inquiry, and encourage social engagement. With carefully planned transitions and experienced, caring teachers, we provide just the right balance of open ended provocations, play-based learning experiences, and small group project work to stimulate and engage your child.
As children continue their early learning journey at Stony Brook School, children further develop the necessary social and emotional, cognitive, and early math concepts and literacy skills, to enter Kindergarten. Teachers closely track the children's interests and development and consciously create an environment that is rich with relevant opportunities for inquiry and exploration. With thoughtfully designed emergent curriculum our experienced teachers help enable children to become competent, critical thinkers, and protagonists in their own learning experiences. Our classrooms serve as evolving spaces that provoke a sense of wonder, curiosity, and contextual learning experiences.
As a licensed program, Stony Brook School follows all Department of Early Education and Care regulations. We have installed medical grade, high efficiency air purifiers (H13 Hepa Filters) in every classroom to provide good ventilation.
