A Positive Foundation
At Clairbourn, we believe childhood is a time of wonder, curiosity, and joy. Through purposeful play, intentional teaching, and caring relationships, our expert early childhood educators nurture the whole child while building the confidence, character, and academic foundations that prepare children to thrive in elementary school and beyond.
Characteristics of the Program
Joyful, Purposeful Learning

Meaningful Relationships
Children thrive when they feel safe, deeply known, and genuinely loved. Strong relationships create the foundation for confidence, belonging, and a lifelong love of learning.

Academic Growth Through Play
Play is not a break from learning—it is how learning happens. Through purposeful, hands-on experiences, children build strong foundations in literacy, mathematics, problem-solving, and critical thinking while developing the confidence to succeed in the future.

Respect for Childhood
We believe childhood is valuable in and of itself. Our program celebrates discovery, imagination, creativity, and wonder while honoring each child's unique pace of growth and development.

Connected to the Clairbourn Community
As members of the Clairbourn community, our preschool students enjoy enriching experiences that extend learning beyond their own classrooms. Weekly classes with specialist teachers in music and library introduce children to new skills and interests while helping them feel connected to the larger school community. Preschool students also participate in school traditions such as monthly All-School Morning Assembly, music concerts, and Book Fair visits and guest author presentations, creating rich experiences alongside older students. These shared experiences foster belonging while introducing children to the traditions that make Clairbourn unique.
Hands-on exploration continues through special events like our annual Early Learning STEM Event, where preschool and kindergarten students collaborate with our I-Lab teacher on engineering design challenges that showcase their creativity, innovation, and problem-solving skills. Past projects have included a Beaver Dam Build, Sailing Regatta, Rapunzel's Zipline, and Parachuting Jack and the Beanstalk—favorite traditions that celebrate innovation, curiosity, and learning.
"From the moment you walk through the gates, you can feel the warmth and joy that make this school so special. The teachers have been incredible—they truly took the time to know our son and help him grow in confidence, independence, and social skills. One day he even came home and proudly made a list of 'how to be kind,' which perfectly reflects the values the teachers model every day. There is no better feeling than dropping your child off knowing they are safe, happy, and genuinely cared for."
