The starting point for a child’s education and our curriculum is the child’s interest. With small class sizes and 1:6 - 1:8 ratios we are able to individualize the curriculum to meet the interests and natural curiosity of each child. The program stimulates and challenges children while providing many opportunities to achieve success and receive positive praise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6023d9119307e03897e37b7f/1613068600641-XG0VO1ZNK8L4U4D070F0/Lena2.jpg Home - Our Students We believe that all children are special and unique individuals and must be treated as such. Each child has the potential to become a healthy, caring, sensitive, and fully contributing member of society. Children are active learners and learning is augmented through play, hands-on activities, enriching materials, and positive feedback from knowledgeable teachers. Our students develop at individual rates and construct their own knowledge through repeated experiences involving interactions with people and materials. Through active exploration, experimentation, and manipulation of their environment the development of children’s thinking, reasoning, decision-making, and problem solving abilities are enhanced. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6023d9119307e03897e37b7f/1626658140273-36L3G9SW613AFNNYEWW0/logo_icon_small_transparent_new.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6023d9119307e03897e37b7f/1626658156359-QL7W2412RM2BCSCWK5J4/logo_icon_small_transparent_new.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6023d9119307e03897e37b7f/1626658176229-Z7NU6VZ6EOWQ1BKJK6K0/logo_icon_small_transparent_new.png Home https://www.newburyoaks.com/programs daily 0.75 2025-04-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6023d9119307e03897e37b7f/1612996676036-ZEUQJMTQOBVSQM4PRT64/Josephine.jpg Programs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6023d9119307e03897e37b7f/1613068736280-XGCA5NP3UGT1YTNSERVM/Bodhi.jpg Programs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6023d9119307e03897e37b7f/84d8a890-c0b6-49bc-8292-311fa7d3e1fa/Safari.jpg Programs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6023d9119307e03897e37b7f/428bb155-871a-4caf-a104-a478a438d933/Legos.jpg Programs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6023d9119307e03897e37b7f/1626658504112-XY2UESR5CVR3LN87HH8O/logo_icon_small_transparent_new.png Programs https://www.newburyoaks.com/staff daily 0.75 2026-01-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6023d9119307e03897e37b7f/1620401373210-DXL5UAW7429TAYC4J1E6/pat.png Staff - Ms. Pat Owner & Founder Patricia Wilka founded Newbury Oaks Preschool in 2009 and The Enriching Hour Preschool in 1989.
