One Fifty Parker Avenue School is a small and cozy, play-based school that serves 48 children each year.
The Twos is our program for children aged 2 - 2.5 at the start of the school year, AM Nursery is our morning 3’s program, the PM Nursery is our afternoon 4’s program, and we offer a morning Transitional Kindergarten for 5 year olds. Children attend school 5 days a week, and this schedule builds familiarity with the environment, provides children with much-needed consistency, and creates repeated exposure to daily rhythms and routines. A full day program is available for families needing all day care.
We also own and operate the Little Red School Bus, our own 14-passenger vehicle, designed to offer daily adventures in the mornings for PM children, and twice weekly excursions in the afternoons for TK children. In all our programs, we are proud to maintain excellent child-teacher ratios, with one teacher for every six children in each on-campus program and one teacher for every 4 children on the Little Red School Bus.
“At Parker School, we believe that children of preschool age should learn through observation and experience, interacting with peers and teachers, and be encouraged to seek solutions to concrete problems. We delight in a child’s natural curiosity and desire to make sense of the world, and we encourage each one to become engaged in learning activities.”
Early Program, Little Red School Bus, Extended Program, and Late Program are available 5 days/week but also offered on an a la carte model. This way, we provide families with the flexibility to create a schedule that works right for them. For example, full days M, W, F and half days on T, Th.
