Concord Carousel Preschool offers a half day and full day preschool program licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (EEC). We offer a small, creative learning environment for children ages 2 years 9 months – 5 years. Concord Carousel operates 3, 4 and 5 day programs (based on age) with the option of morning only (9:00 to Noon) or full day (9:00 until 5:00)
There are also a variety of options for extended time at Carousel. For those attending mornings only, "Stay and Play" is offered one or two afternoons, for an extra fee, if there is sufficient interest. Our full day families have the option of registering for early morning drop off as an addition to the full day registration (a minimum of 4 registrants are required by June 1 for this offering to move forward)
Concord Carousel creates a safe, nurturing and quality preschool experience for our children and their families. Our developmental curriculum is designed to promote physical, social, emotional and cognitive growth by presenting challenges and engaging children in meaningful activities. Problem solving, creativity and learning are stimulated through both spontaneous and structured activities. Integrated play activities encourage children to interact with their peers, their teachers and materials. Children are guided to have positive social interactions with others while learning through play.
