Stella Piccolo Preschool
Explore & Learn
Stella Piccolo is a nurturing play based preschool program serving 2 ½ - to 5 - year-old children. Our goal is to provide a positive environment where belonging and respect facilitate curiosity and active, hands-on learning. At Stella Piccolo, children explore their thoughtfully planned play environment where they engage in active learning, explore individual interests, and build developmentally appropriate skills. In turn, Stella Piccolo teachers are partners in the children’s learning by observing, planning, and facilitating experiences based upon children’s interests and needs while ensuring children build skills across areas of development including language and communication, social skills, gross and fine motor development, problem solving and academics. The relationship that develops between the child and teacher results in children feeling supported and in control of their learning and developing confidence, independence, and responsibility.

Our Philosophy
At Stella Piccolo we believe that children are active participants in their learning, and we strive to support them within our developmentally appropriate and child-centered approach. We are dedicated to meeting children at their own level in a positive environment in which children and adults feel a sense of belonging, each child's development is carefully supported, and a love of learning is continuously demonstrated.
