At The Music Settlement, our Early Childhood programs provide a nurturing environment designed to spark curiosity and foster development in children ages 3-6. With offerings including our half-day Preschool, year-round Day School, and full-day Kindergarten, we offer a rich, diverse curriculum that blends music, storytelling, cooking, art, drama, science, and other sensory experiences to engage children in meaningful ways.
Our Early Childhood programs are designed to support children’s growth in every area: socially, emotionally, intellectually, and physically. We create a foundation for lifelong learning through hands-on, interactive activities that encourage collaboration, exploration, and discovery.
Let your child thrive in a supportive, creative, and engaging environment at The Music Settlement!
The Music Settlement’s arts-infused curriculum fosters brain and social development, builds confidence, encourages creative expression, and promotes play.
"Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood."
– Fred Rogers
