Rumsey Hall Pre-K celebrates childhood and supports families by creating a warm, engaging community where children thrive through a blend of play-based exploration and guided learning, fostering curiosity and growth in a nurturing environment. At Rumsey Hall, we nurture curiosity and connection in our youngest learners.
Our Pre-Kindergarten program combines play with structured activities that help children develop essential life skills in a supportive community that fosters independent thinking and collaboration.
Rumsey's Pre-K Is a Place Where:
We learn about ourselves and build relationships.
We question, find answers, and solve problems.
We create and build.
We play and pretend.
We speak confidently and share stories.
We explore letters, sounds, and early writing.
Curriculum
At Rumsey Hall, our curriculum adapts to the unique interests and needs of each child, supported by small class sizes and a low student-teacher ratio. We meet students where they are, building strong relationships and fostering a nurturing community rooted in values like honesty, kindness, and respect. This personalized approach ensures that every child feels seen, valued, and supported while growing both academically and socially.
