Huggs Day School

From the Director:

At Huggs Day School there is a structure to our day, a structure to our curriculum and a structure for classroom management. This provides our children a sense of comfort and confidence through consistency. Within our structure the students make choices and decisions which promote their independence and self-confidence.|At Huggs Day School there is a structure to our day, a structure to our curriculum and a structure for classroom management.

Books and storytelling take place every day; both during teacher-led story time and in small groups during free play. Literacy and math skills are learned when emphasized during all school activities, including art, cooking, story time, water & sand play, puppetry, etc. When children show interest and aptitude literacy and math skills are also taught during small, group teacher-led activities. |Books and storytelling take place every day; both during teacher-led story time and in small groups during free play.

Huggs Day School provides a warm, nurturing environment for preschool children. Our youngsters' emotional and social well being are of prime importance to the teachers. We strive to make each child feel special about themselves and confident in their relationships with peers. We want each child to learn that school is a wonderful place to be!

There is a Parent Meeting a few days before school begins to meet teachers, see their child's classroom and to discuss separation and general school rules and procedures. Monthly newsletters are sent home describing what is going on in the classroom. Formal parent conferences are held mid-year but teachers are always available to schedule conferences throughout the year either in person or on the phone.
