Our Program

A place to wonder, explore, and discover

Children’s natural curiosity opens a world of opportunity for learning. At John Winthrop, children embark on a cycle of wonder, exploration, and discovery. Our classrooms offer materials that allow children to investigate and make new discoveries — instilling pride and encouraging self-sufficiency. When interest and spontaneous play drive a child’s learning, every day is a thrilling adventure; this is the core of the John Winthrop curriculum.

Building blocks for a lifetime of learning

John Winthrop’s responsive teachers, engaging materials, and safe environment promote a sense of belonging, enabling children to follow their interests and explore materials. As children follow their natural curiosity, their quests to find answers create opportunities to develop early literacy skills, number concepts, an understanding of the natural world, and self-expression through the creative arts.

Bringing out the best in every child

Every child develops in a unique way, learning to walk, talk, and read at his or her own pace. At John Winthrop School, teachers welcome and celebrate each child’s unique abilities, learning style, and temperament. Accepting and honoring a child’s individuality is the basis of building trusting reciprocal relationships, which prepare the mind for learning.

A community of caring

The nurturing community of John Winthrop School incorporates and supports parents and caregivers as well as their children, helping build the relationships that are at the core of each child’s success. Children thrive when families and teachers develop real partnerships. Excellent communication and an open-door policy at John Winthrop build a strong connection between home and school.

John Winthrop School is committed to providing the resources, support, and encouragement children need to succeed.
