Preschool

Hamlin Robinson School is excited to launch a new Early Childhood Education program in Fall 2026, with an anticipated opening on September 9, 2026. Designed for children ages 3 and 4, this language-rich, play-based preschool program reflects the mission and philosophy that have guided HRS for more than 40 years.

At HRS, we believe the early years should be filled with wonder, discovery, creativity, and connection. Our program is intentionally designed to nurture each child’s natural curiosity while building strong foundations in communication, confidence, social-emotional growth, and early literacy.

Children will learn through play, movement, storytelling, music, art, sensory exploration, outdoor experiences, and meaningful relationships with caring educators and peers. Throughout the day, language development is thoughtfully woven into every interaction and experience in ways that feel natural, joyful, and engaging.

What makes the HRS Early Childhood Education program unique is the combination of exceptional early childhood practice with HRS’s deep expertise in language and literacy development. Using research-informed approaches — including Creative Curriculum, Heggerty Early Pre-K, and embedded language-support strategies — educators will support the development of all learners while thoughtfully observing and understanding each child’s individual growth.

Rather than waiting until children struggle in later elementary years, our program is built on the belief that strong language-rich environments and responsive early support can make a meaningful difference from the very beginning. By intentionally supporting oral language, vocabulary, listening, phonological awareness, and social-emotional development beginning at age three, we help children build confidence and foundational skills that support future learning success.
