Year-round programs with flexible scheduling: two, three, or five days a week. Mix half-day, school-day, and full-day schedules to fit your family.
LPC is a play-based program. Our emergent curriculum follows each child's interests rather than a boxed, one-size-fits-all one. It works because of our teachers, many with a decade or more of experience, who bring intentionality and continuous training to every interaction.
Teachers participate in in-service training days throughout the year. Rather than buying a packaged curriculum, we invest directly in the teaching team: continuous professional development aligned with NAEYC's teacher-qualification standards.
Classes run at 1:3 or 1:4 — at or better than the Massachusetts EEC minimum of 1:4. That means more lap time, more single-adult attention, and fewer transitions when a child needs a grown-up they already know. Our youngest learners explore through sensory play, music, art, and outdoor discovery.
Classes run at 1:5 — half the Massachusetts EEC maximum of 1:10. Fewer transitions, more one-on-one time with teachers who know your child’s name, quirks, and current obsession. Our emergent curriculum follows that knowledge; through projects, art, storytelling, and outdoor exploration, preschoolers build the habits they’ll carry into kindergarten.
