At Dalton Preschool, we believe that play is children’s work and provides the most effective stage for brain development and learning in the early childhood years. The activities we plan for the children, the way we organize the classroom environment, select toys and materials, plan the daily schedule, and talk with children, are all designed to accomplish the objectives of the curriculum and give your child a successful start in their education.
