"Nothing without joy!"
Our early childhood program honors and values childhood. We nurture joyful experiences in beautifully designed indoor and outdoor spaces, guided by highly experienced and talented teachers.
Children thrive in multi-age groups and our early childhood classrooms include three- and four-year-olds as well as Kindergarteners.
Hands-on, experiential learning is at the heart of our early childhood classrooms.
Our school sits on a beautiful 50-acre campus with a rambling creek, wooded groves and plenty of green space. Our youngest children enjoy playing and learning in our brand new nature playground and outdoor classroom.
A child-centered emergent curriculum builds intrinsic motivation and a long-term love of learning.
We offer full and half day options, as well as extended day and a summer program.
We combine a focus on the individual with an ever widening sense of community, rooted in Quaker beliefs.
"Every room was more amazing than the next. A visit to your school should be assigned to every early childhood teacher. There is no match anywhere for what is happening at AFS.”
