Preschool
Tower Hill's preschool program offers our youngest learners - ages three through kindergarten - a quality education in a warm and supporting environment that is rich with opportunities.
The foundation for each child’s future cognitive, physical, social and emotional development is built on a curriculum that is taught with intentionality by caring and nurturing faculty.
We are reminded through our work with children that learning emerges and builds on a variety of experiences; that learning is actively constructed; and that learning develops within a community.
