Notes from our Director
We hope you were able to enjoy time with your family and friends during the February vacation break! Even though spring is around the corner, weather and temperatures can vary from one minute to the next in New England. Please dress your child in layers to allow for temperature changes that can occur throughout the day.
Read below for our upcoming March events, and remember you can always stay up-to-date by checking out our school website.
Sincerely,
Rosario Alvarez

B.L.O.C.K.S. Preschool promotes a flexible atmosphere that considers children individually and as members of a group. Our program provides a variety of resources that address children's particular interests, needs and levels of development.
Learning through play, development of self concept, the growth of language and respect for others will be fostered in order to maximize future school success. The ultimate goal of this program is to instill in children a curiosity about their world and a hunger to learn.
