About Us

In our accredited developmental, interactive program, your child will...

• Develop language and listening skills.
• Explore their own creativity and develop new interests.
• Learn socialization skills to help them develop an understanding of their feelings and emotions, and those of others.
• Practice interaction with other children to encourage self-awareness and growth.
• Grow in self-confidence and self-reliance.

Our credentialed teachers plan the daily activities to enable both the parent and child to benefit from this enriching experience. A routine is maintained, but the children are allowed freedom of choice within the schedule. Children of all dispositions will profit from play in this relaxed atmosphere.

The Learning Environment

In Bunker Hill's woodsy setting, children enjoy a natural world of discovery while playing outdoors, A staff-designed parent-constructed playground including tricycle path, climbing structure, sandbox, playhouse, garden and waterway provide limitless fun for kids.

When indoors, children are free to explore within three thematic rooms.

The Quiet Room provides puzzles, table toys, a science table, and hundreds of books for browsing.

The Block Room accommodates circle time, block play, music, dramatic play and dress-up, and includes a fully equipped, two-level playhouse.

The Art Room offers opportunities to enjoy a variety of art projects including painting, play-dough, cooking and use of the Creation Station.

Parent Participation

Our school is a cooperative nursery school. Along with the teacher, the parents are the staff. While participating on your work day, you will...

• Have time to enjoy and observe your own child in a loving environment.
• Increase your understanding of the developmental needs of children.
• Learn parenting techniques for handling children at school and at home.
• Share experiences and concerns with other parents.
• Meet others in the community.

Mission Statement

Bunker Hill has a mission to instill a love of learning in both our children and their families, and provide a skill base to prepare our children to confidently meet the challenges of a global and diverse world. We highly value the principles of child development and structure the learning environment and curriculum to recognize and appreciate the individual qualities of each child.

We encourage creative play in our safe and natural environment where digging up dirt and worms is as important as fresh air and learning to ride a tricycle. By providing a cooperative atmosphere of respect, community, and support, our families develop friendships that carry on for years to come.
