How We Learn

Each month brings a new thematic focus, woven across art, early literacy, music and movement, and hands-on math and science activities. Children build pre-reading skills through monthly author studies, express creativity through guided art projects, and develop problem-solving through games and puzzles — all paced to how young children actually learn: through doing, touching, and playing.

Through Community. Perry Park was built on the idea that families look out for one another. That spirit carries through every day: children learn alongside familiar faces, teachers know each family by name, and the classroom feels like an extension of home.

Through Play. Young children learn best when they are curious, engaged, and having fun. Our days are built around hands-on exploration, imaginative play, and open-ended activities — not worksheets.

Through Themes. Every day at Perry Park is organized around a theme that ties together art, stories, music, and activities, giving children a sense of continuity and helping new vocabulary and ideas stick..

Our teachers plan with intention, balancing structured group activities with open-ended free choice time, so children can follow their curiosity while still building the foundational skills they’ll need for kindergarten and beyond.
