Early Childhood

Building the Future: Foundational Years at Pilgrim.

Blossoming Years: Fostering Young Learners.

Curriculum Overview

Pilgrim offers dynamic Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten programs that align with Early Childhood academic standards, and are designed to help children feel safe and loved. Children ages three through six are encouraged to explore their world and develop a love of learning – in a nurturing classroom environment, where their interests are affirmed. Low student-teacher ratios mean that each child receives the personal attention they need to grow and thrive.

Students are supported in achieving their individual goals, while developing strong foundational math and literacy skills through hands-on activities and intentional play. Curiosity and creativity are stimulated, and an developmentally-appropriate academic curriculum ensures that students are ready to take the next step in their educational journey.

“Kindergarten at Pilgrim is what Kindergarten is meant to be. Nurturing, enriching, exciting, individualized, and so much more. The teachers are incredibly skilled and balance academic, social, and emotional development beautifully. The small class size, warm sense of community, and excellent communication between home and school has made this an ideal Kindergarten experience for my daughter and made me one happy mom.”
