“Kendall School provides a truly wonderful educational experience. The community is warm and inviting, making both children and parents feel welcome and supported. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed for young learners, with a robust daily music program and exciting afternoon specialties like drama, science and nature, foreign language, and even cooking. The teachers are exceptional—nurturing, dedicated, and deeply invested in each child’s growth. We couldn’t be happier with the opportunities and care Kendall School provides!”

“We have sent two of our children to Kendall School and are so happy with our experience. The quality of educators and programming is unmatched in this area. Our son attended the Transitional Kindergarten program and it paid dividends when it came to his move to elementary school. He was confident, excited and ready. Our younger daughter is thriving with the mix of play and academics and we love how the teachers see, and tailor their approaches to, our kids’ unique styles. The building itself is beautiful and inviting, and so beautifully maintained! We are excited to send our younger kids to Kendall when they’re ready, too!”

The Kendall School creates an inclusive environment that encourages children’s natural curiosity while equipping them with the skills and confidence needed to embrace the transition into Kindergarten.
Our program philosophy is guided by the principles of Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP). We work toward fostering the social, emotional, physical, and cognitive needs of children by offering both child directed and teacher directed activities. Curiosity, exploration, and sharing are nurtured and encouraged.
