Our Mission

Home About Our Mission
Nurturing Young Minds Since 2002
The Campbell School was established in 2002. Its mission is to provide a developmentally appropriate preschool in an atmosphere of security, warmth, acceptance and encouragement. We are dedicated to a learning environment designed to enrich all students by meeting their unique educational and developmental needs.

The school is fully licensed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts through the Department of Early Education and Care. Located on the corner of Blue Hill Avenue and Decker Street, we have a daily capacity of seventy-eight children, ranging in age from 24 months through 5 years old.

Our Approach to Learning

The Campbell School provides a prepared learning environment where each child is free to act and develop along the lines of his or her own inner direction. Teachers guide and encourage each child to develop skills that lead toward communication and self-confidence.

A child’s imagination grows at its own pace while also functioning as part of a group. Creative expression through art, drama and music is an integral part of each school day, alongside science experiences that help children understand the world around them.

Guided by Caring Teachers

The role of the teacher is to understand each child as fully as possible — primarily through observation. While observing, the teacher is always ready to guide and direct each child’s efforts to teach himself, so the young child learns according to his or her own individual needs and capabilities.

Our curriculum is designed to develop each child’s readiness skills, providing the continuity and stability that is essential at this age. Our role is to recognize each child’s individual gifts, and to nurture, love and support them in a congenial environment.

What We Believe In

The Campbell School came to be through a unique collaboration of dedicated, caring individuals who believe in a developmentally sound program built on:

  • Tolerance
  • Acceptance
  • Love
  • Humor
  • Kindness
  • Diversity
We Are Family

We strive to maintain a sound parent-and-teacher relationship of mutual respect and trust. Conferences may be requested at any time, and because parents drop off and pick up their children from the classrooms, they are encouraged to interact with teachers every day.

The children, parents, teachers and administration of The Campbell School are family. As family, we strive daily to fulfill the promise each child brings to us — and to the world.
