The philosophy of Plumfield Pre-School & Kindergarten is to provide an exciting learning environment that fosters positive self esteem and focuses on the development of the whole child, socially, emotionally, cognitively and physically.
Plumfield Pre-School & Kindergarten recognizes that children learn best through play.
Therefore, the curriculum has been designed with an age appropriate learning environment that recognizes the individual needs of each child and his/her natural curiosity for learning.
As a pre-school/kindergarten, Plumfield tailors its program to young children from 2 to 6 years of age. All children must be potty trained prior to enrollment.
We do not discriminate based upon sex, ethnicity or religion. We foster the uniqueness brought by each child.
