At the Downtown Little School we offer a pre-school program for young children that emphasizes social and emotional growth, while giving careful attention to cognitive and physical development. We offer an individualized program that supports the strengths and responds to the needs of each child and family. We emphasize independence, learning through experience, and self-discovery. It is our belief that all children benefit from diversity of all kinds. We seek racial, socioeconomic and cultural diversity, and we accept children with special needs.
