ABOUT OUR PROGRAM
Learning is fun at Kid Connection, a community-based preschool operated by the Winchester Recreation Department. Our focus is on developing the “whole child” supporting social/emotional growth and pre-academic skills. We have been serving the Winchester community for over 30 years, and pride ourselves on the longevity of our dedicated teachers and our low teacher to child ratio. Our theme-based curriculum combines learning through play with teacher directed activities in a nurturing environment. Enrichment opportunities throughout the year include music, gymnastics, local field trips, and more. We have large, bright classrooms and an expansive outdoor play area and sport court. We respect each parent as their child’s first educator and work together to create a strong home/school connection. Kid Connection is a school year program that follows the Winchester Public School calendar and is licensed by The Department of Early Education and Care (EEC).
