Schwartz Preschool

Early childhood education is the core offering at this preschool. Its program draws inspiration from the Reggio Emilia approach, with developmentally appropriate materials and projects that invite children to engage actively in learning. A child-led emergent curriculum builds on children's interests and current knowledge, while classroom projects develop through the questions and interests of the community. Hands-on exploration, group collaboration, and social interaction are part of the learning experience. Educators observe children and create opportunities to investigate topics that interest them. The program supports emotional, intellectual, and physical development, along with socialization, self-esteem, and school readiness. Classrooms are arranged to encourage exploration and communication. Schwartz Preschool is located in Philadelphia.
