Early Childhood Academics

Inspiring Learning for our Youngest Scholars

Our youngest Hopkins students are introduced to personalized learning in our early childhood programs, which use Reggio Emilia-inspired curriculum. This child-centered approach is designed to engage young minds to use their natural sense of discovery as a catalyst for learning. Our youngest learners develop creativity, confidence, and strong social relationships through play-based exploration of academic concepts built around their interests.

Hopkins Preschool has a 1:10 Class Ratio

Hopkins Preschool

Children are natural explorers, problem solvers, and sense makers. In Hopkins Preschools we encourage these traits using the Reggio Emilia-inspired approach, which adapts to children's interests and offers them time and space to plan, think, experiment, evaluate and amend their ideas. This inspires deeper academic thinking and is built around our young scholars’ interests. Teachers guide students to experiment and discover while they acquire important learning concepts. Math, art, science, music, dramatic play, literacy, and STEM are embedded into learning.

Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE)

Our ECFE program supports learning for our youngest community members and their caregivers starting at birth, setting a strong foundation for school success.

Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE)

Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) provides Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) to families and children that meet state criteria for special education services. Services are provided within the child's natural environments including home, community daycares and schools, and Hopkins preschools.
