Early Learning Center

The Kent School Early Learning Center was established in 1998 to provide high quality, developmentally appropriate care to the young children of Kent School’s faculty and staff and the neighboring community. For 16 years, the Kent School Early Learning Center has earned the nation's top quality accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children, an organization that establishes comprehensive criteria that defines quality in early childhood programs. This accreditation ensures that families are provided the very best possible care.

Our program is located in a bright, cheery facility and staffed by loving and attentive teachers who have an educational background in the field of early childhood education. The Early Learning Center is open Monday through Friday from 7:45 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. during the Kent School academic year. There are three classrooms: an Infant Room, a Toddler room, and a Pre-K classroom.

 

Living and Working in Kent

Kent School is nestled in between the Housatonic River and Mt. Algo in the town of Kent, recognized as one of New England’s most popular destinations and an authentic example of the best that small towns have to offer.

Yankee Magazine named Kent the top town in New England for fall foliage, recognizing Kent’s abundant natural beauty and the town’s rich cultural offerings, art galleries, shops, restaurants, and state and national parks which combine to make Kent a most sought after tourist spot. Kent has been selected as the most beautiful town in the state of Connecticut by Expedia and as one of the twenty best small towns in the U.S. by Smithsonian Magazine.

The town itself is small, but rich in culture with numerous shops, restaurants, galleries, and a local grocery store. Just beyond campus lies two covered bridges, the Appalachian Trail, Kent Falls, and Macedonia State Park.
