The groundwork for successful experiences in the education system is largely established before Kindergarten even starts.
At Community Synagogue, we believe the purpose of an early childhood program is to provide a sensory rich environment where children feel safe to explore, experiment and ask questions. We offer children technology free experiences that feed their senses and support mindfulness for themselves and the world around them. Communication and language are crucial to a child’s education and are key in supporting early literacy. Equally important to our program is the development of social and emotional skills and the understanding of kindness, empathy and community. Universal human values are woven into our curriculum in ways that can be appreciated and understood by young children. Our goal is to provide a strong foundation that the children and their families can carry with them to elementary school and beyond.

We provide a safe and nurturing environment that teaches age appropriate activities for social, emotional, cognitive, physical and language development all under our loving faith of God. Our primary goal for children is to get along well with others and become enthusiastic learners. We want children to become independent, self-confident, curious learners.
The Dougherty Early Learning Center at GCS is unique in many different ways. We see each child as an inventor, problem solvers, discoverer while motivating their natural curiosity. Our curriculum fosters all areas of a child’s development with small and large groups and balances small and large group learning, structured and independent activities, small and large motor play as well as quiet time. Our preschool children also take part in many of GCS’s enrichment classes such as gym, music, foreign language, art, and library. There is a transitional preschool class that has a modified pre curriculum to foster a child’s different learning needs. The transitional pre k class has a small student to teacher ratio to focus on each child’s learning process for a successful learning outcome.
We use effective teaching approaches that are also developmentally, culturally and linguistically appropriate for young children. Teachers have open communication with parents and encourage parental involvement.
Admission to the Dougherty Early Childhood Center at Greenwich Catholic School is a multi-step process and begins in the fall for the following year.
We welcome families at our Open House on Tuesday, October 8th at 9 AM.

RPNS is in its 61st year of serving preschoolers in the community. We are a progressive preschool that works collaboratively with children to create long-term projects and investigations around the student’s ideas, delving deeper into what interests the children. We have learning goals for each area of development that we integrate into our studies, so every child is nurtured, supported, and challenged. To prepare our students for elementary school, we use a phonics-based literacy curriculum. It is important to us that we help the children develop the critical thinking skills necessary to become independent and enthusiastic lifelong learners. We offer morning and afternoon programs for two, three, four, and five year olds. Our morning and afternoon sessions have the same goals and activities at each of their respective age levels. There is also the possibility of lengthening your child’s day through various extended day options
The Barat Center for Early Childhood Education is a special place on the Sacred Heart Greenwich campus. We invite prospective parents to spend the morning in Barat Center as you shadow our three-to-five year old boys and girls. During this interactive experience, you will learn about our enhanced Early Childhood curriculum, meet Head of Lower School and Barat Center faculty, and experience first-hand the learning environment and family-friendly atmosphere created to honor our young learners!
