Fairville Friends embraces the Quaker vision of education: kindness, wisdom, caring, humility, trust, respect for all, and a deep concern for the whole child. We offer a variety of half- and full-day preschool programs on 2, 3 and 5 day schedules, September through June.
Preschool class sizes are small with six to ten children in each classroom and an average teacher-child ratio of 1:6. The full-day Kindergarten program has no more than 16 students with 2 teachers, allowing for small group and individual curriculum instruction. Healthy vegetarian snacks and lunch are included and prepared in our own kitchen, with great care given to food allergies.
Children at Fairville spend part of every school day engaged in unstructured outdoor play, using their creativity, imagination and initiative to explore the play areas. Teachers also plan purposeful outdoor activities designed to support physical growth and development, encourage scientific discovery and promote stewardship of the earth. Fairville also offers Preschool Playtime sessions for caregivers and children 18–36 months, Enrichment Programs for enrolled students, and seven weeks of half-day Summer Camps open to all.
