From STEM and robotics to outdoor learning and creative electives, students are encouraged to become active participants in their own education.

The goal isn’t simply to give students the right answers.

It’s to help them develop the confidence and skills to keep asking questions, finding solutions, and learning throughout life.

Why do children learn so much by doing?

Because learning is more than remembering. It’s observing, questioning, experimenting, creating, and solving problems through real experiences.

2027–2028 enrollment is open. Schedule a visit today.

Small class. Big possibilities.

At The Barrett School, our Early School classrooms are intentionally kept small, with 10-14 students.

That means more opportunities for meaningful teacher interaction, individualized support, collaboration, and hands-on learning.

From Pre-K3 through Kindergarten, we want every child to feel known, supported, and encouraged to explore their curiosity.

Because sometimes, creating a bigger learning experience starts with creating a smaller classroom.

What if hands-on learning is where some of the most important learning begins?

When young children explore, build, experiment, create, and collaborate, they’re developing far more than academic knowledge.

They’re strengthening attention, self-regulation, flexible thinking, problem-solving, communication, and confidence skills that support learning both inside and outside the classroom.

At The Barrett School, our Kindergarten experience includes hands-on exploration, STEM, creative discovery, outdoor learning, and meaningful collaboration.

Because early education is about more than preparing children for the next grade.
It’s about helping them become confident, curious, and capable learners.

Learning begins with curiosity, exploration, and discovery.
In Kindergarten, children are building far more than academic skills. Through purposeful play, hands-on projects, STEM activities, problem-solving, and collaboration, they strengthen critical thinking, communication, focus, and confidence.

At The Barrett School, every experience is designed to turn curiosity into meaningful learning and help children build a strong foundation for the years ahead.
Because great education begins when children are encouraged to ask, explore, create, and discover.

Kindergarten is a major milestone, but it’s about far more than learning letters and numbers.

It’s where children begin building confidence, independence, curiosity, and their relationship with learning.

At The Barrett School, Kindergarten combines strong academic foundations with play-based discovery, hands-on projects, STEM experiences, outdoor learning, and meaningful support from teachers who know and understand each child.

Our goal is not only to prepare students for the next grade, but to help them become confident, curious learners who are excited to discover what they can do.

Because when children feel supported, challenged, and inspired, learning becomes something they look forward to.

Kindergarten is more than learning letters, numbers, and routines.

It’s where children begin building the confidence, curiosity, independence, and problem solving skills that will shape their educational journey.

At The Barrett School, Kindergarten students learn through hands on experiences, personalized instruction, meaningful relationships, and opportunities to explore beyond traditional academics.

We believe children learn best when they feel known, supported, and excited to discover something new.

Ready to give your child a strong start? Kindergarten enrollment is open, with limited spots available.

Is your child ready for Kindergarten or would another year of Pre-K be the better choice?

The answer isn’t always about age. Kindergarten readiness also includes a child’s ability to focus, separate comfortably from parents, function in a group, manage everyday tasks independently, and show curiosity about learning.

Our latest article explores what parents should consider when deciding whether their child is ready to start Kindergarten and why the right learning environment can make a difference.
