Little Folks Day School has been successfully guiding and educating preschool and kindergarten children since 1982.
In a safe and nurturing environment, these children have developed a positive attitude toward learning and discovered that learning is fun! Children are usually enrolled on the basis of a personal interview which includes the parent(s), the child and the Director.
The interview affords the parent(s) and the child the opportunity to visit and learn about the school, and it gives the Director the time to become acquainted with the child.
"We thoroughly enjoy working on behalf of young children and promote standards of excellence in our early childhood curriculum.
We are licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care.".
