Burlington Forest Preschool

At Burlington Forest Preschool they believe that children and teachers should spend as much time connecting with the natural world as possible, allowing it to guide our teaching and learning. They support children to establish a sense of place and develop a respect for nature while encouraging them to explore their interests and form positive relationships.

They are located at the Ethan Allen Homestead, where they have both an indoor space and access to nearly 300 acres of land. Our curriculum is emergent, integrated, and place-based. Children are encouraged to build on their emerging literacy and numeracy interests within the context of their explorations. 

In the fall of 2018, they will be opening a second classroom! We will have two licensed teachers with an degree in each classroom. Often they will have an extra assistant teacher or student intern working with the group. Their child to teacher ratio never exceeds 6:1, and is often as low as 4:1.
