The Waterbury Office of Early Childhood is now registering preschool students for the 2021-2022 school year. Call us and help your child to learn and grow!

So happy to see young children back in school sharing, interacting with each other and learning through play. Thank you Rotella friends for a great visit!

Thank you Pre-k families and Indian Rock Nature Preserve for making our first Family Night a success! Now let’s go make our own apple cider, apple pie, apple bread and more. What’s your favorite kind of apple ?

How do WPS preschoolers learn about letters and sounds? By fishing for letters and making letters out of playdough! Thank you Carrington Pre-k for learning through play!

Beginning the Year with Teaching Strategies allows children to develop relationships, learn routines and begin their journey of learning.

The best part of my day is visiting WPS Pre-K classrooms. So much learning going on. Pre-k is back! Thank you Sprague teachers. I learned a lot today!

So much to learn in the Tree Study. Exploration + discovery = engagement for Pre-K learners. Great teaching and learning going on at Duggan School!

What better way to learn about trees than by playing with a treehouse! So nice to see students actively engaged in Mrs. Kerrigan’s Pre-k class!

So excited to see students learning math and science through play. A visit to Gilmartin School’s Pre-k class will leave you smiling!

So much to observe in simple activities and interactions with our students. How many objectives do you see? Great job Bucks Hill Annex teaching about the Tree Study!

This is how children learn about letters in Preschool!

So much learning going on in Pre-k at Driggs School. Awesome phonemic awareness lesson using musical instruments. So exciting to see the arts embedded in every day instruction!

Students are loving the The Building Study! Shout to Bunker Hill Pre-K and their students for their wonderful retell of The True Story of the Three Little Pigs. This is why we do what we do!

Such a proud night for Waterbury students, families and staff. Congratulations to all on your outstanding artwork and performances!!

Teaching is… what people do when they want to make a difference… when they want to improve the lives of others… when they want to create brighter futures… when they want to change the world, one child at a time. That’s what teaching is.

Such a great afternoon at Bucks Hill Preschool celebrating NAEYC and the Week of the Young Child. Thank you to all the teachers and families who participated and celebrated children!

Celebrating the Week of the Young Child with Music Monday and our own Mr. Ben. Thanks for making us smile today!!
