Early Childhood Program

At St. Joseph School your child’s sense of wonder is recognized and celebrated as the foundation to discovering, investigating and building big ideas.

Our teachers recognize children to be curious, inventive and independent, competent and capable. By providing rich and intentional experiences in the environment exploration, concentration, interaction, play and collaboration are fostered. These are habits of learners engaged in a thoughtful process .

Fully accredited by NEASC, our developmentally-appropriate curriculum reflects the benchmarks of RI Early Learning and Development Standards (RIELDS) and State/National Standards. St. Joseph Early Childhood Programs celebrate and draw inspiration from the Reggio-Emilia Philosophy. This emergent-based curriculum focuses on careful observation of each child in the context of their environment, interactions and interests.

The individual spirit of your child is valued, honored and nurtured as this journey of learning takes flight.
