Dalton Preschool, (formerly known as Dalton Co-op Nursery School), is a non-profit preschool that has been a community institution committed to providing quality Early Educational Programming for young children since 1969. We are fully licensed through the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care as a group preschool program and serve to enhance the natural growth and development of children from 2 yrs. 9 mo. to 5 yrs. old.
Our classroom includes a convenient, attached student restroom, a fenced, private Outdoor Play Space with a padded climber area, sandbox, grassy lawn, and a paved area for trike riding. We also have access to the CRA gyms on inclement weather days.
Our Teachers
Tina Porter has been a dedicated member of the Dalton Preschool team since 2016. She began her journey as a substitute teacher while pursuing her teaching certification and her Child Development
Associate (CDA) credential to become a lead teacher.
Over the years, Tina has grown within the school and now serves as both the Administrative Director and a
Lead Teacher. Her classroom is thoughtfully designed to support play-based learning—a method she believes is both essential and highly rewarding for her students’ development.
Audrey Raza Teacher Assistant
Audrey began working with us in 2024 as a substitute and quickly proved to be a dedicated and caring educator. Now a permanent Teacher Assistant, she brings a strong foundation in early childhood education, supported by college coursework in Special Education. Her training and experience help create an inclusive, supportive environment where every child can thrive.
