Where joyful learning begins
The Early School at Stuart serves children ages 12 months to 4 years, offering a warm, joyful, and intentional start to school. Grounded in expert care and a deep understanding of child development, our Early School provides a nurturing environment where every child is seen, supported, and inspired to explore.
Whether your child is taking first steps into the world or preparing for the transition to kindergarten, our programs meet each stage with age-appropriate learning, creativity, and care. Families may choose from two pathways within the Early School:
"The preschool program at Stuart is truly magical. The themed units and learning activities are incredibly well thought-out and curated. The students learn and develop skills with daily new, exciting and purposeful activities. The conscientiousness and enthusiasm of the teachers is evident. Their warmheartedness as well as that of the entire Stuart staff and student body makes the school an extraordinary place for any student to start their educational journey. We cannot speak highly enough about the program or our daughter's experience" - Current Early Childhood Parent
