At the Winchester School, we consider early childhood education a life-long mission that begins with our loving, caring, dedicated teachers and adminstrators.
Our staff works with families that support our mission of educating the whole-child.
When parents create a home for their children and teachers create a quality school, together we are creating the environment that shapes the children for years to come.
It is from this understanding that good homes and good schools evolve. It is from this understanding that great learners grow!.

We couldn't be more lucky to have Winchester in our lives. Our son is coming home singing, speaking back and forth in two languages, and loving science. And that's just Pre-K! Wonderful faculty that have been there for decades. Cant recommend enough!
