Preschool at Sabot

Preschool at Sabot is a place to build community, develop independence, explore and investigate, and create without boundaries.

Since 1972, Sabot’s Reggio-inspired preschool, one of the first in the United States, has been a place where each child is respected as an individual, teachers have deep knowledge of child development and learning, and parents are connected to expertise and resources that support their journey of parenthood.

What makes our preschool program different?

The experience of a young child at Sabot is designed to allow them to encounter all of the components that are foundational to learning. Children are born wired to learn. Sabot’s engaging environment and supportive adults provide:

• A schedule that reflects the young child’s sense of time, which allows them to follow their own inspiration and become deeply engaged in their play and learning.
• A rhythm to the weeks that allows a child to explore a question, a theory, or an idea to its resolution: for a moment, a day, a month, and so on.
• The luxury of time in the outdoors in both designed and wild spaces.
• The wisdom of adults who support the young child’s emerging understanding of themselves, their feelings, their interactions, and their relationships.
• A strong connection between school and home that creates a circle of support around each young learner.
• A view of children as capable and resilient.
