THE SANDY HILL EXPERIENCE

The Sandy Hill Experience

Imagine a place that feels like a world of its own, made for children to grow, explore, and most of all, play. Play is the work of children, it's not a break from more serious work. Through play, children learn.

Sandy Hill is a place where your child can feel fulfilled and be proud of their work.

Sandy Hill Philosophy

At Sandy Hill, we are dedicated to educating our children through a child-centered, holistic approach.

We strive to center our purposes, goals, and overall focus around the individual needs and interests of the children in our preschool programs.

By using a holistic approach to learning, we focus on developing the whole child - recognizing the equal importance and interdependence of emotional, social, physical, cognitive, and creative development.

We endeavor to provide all our children with a responsive, nurturing, and stimulating environment in which they can reach their full potential as happy, competent, and productive human beings.
