Quarry Hill School vs. Mary Johnson Children's Center

Quarry Hill School is a private, not-for-profit preschool serving children between the ages of three and six.

We are thrilled to be celebrating our 35th year of joyful learning and sharing.

The philosophy and teaching methods of Quarry Hill School form a colorful tapestry of differences.

Children between the ages of 3 and 6 are just beginning to explore two new concepts, "I am apart from everyone else" and "I am a part of the whole world." As each child approaches these concepts differently, so too do Quarry Hill teachers approach every child.

Mary Johnson Children's Center enrolls children from 18 months to 5 years of age.

Our curriculum is play based meaning that we believe children learn through play.

There is a strong emphasis on the natural world, so children spend time outside daily.

Physical development through activity is a significant part of the curriculum.

Children have opportunities to paint, sculpt, draw, write, sew, and engage in many creative outlets with their hands.

Developing social skills and independence are emphasized throughout the day.
