About Us
Welcome to Parkside School!
Parkside was created in response to the need in our community for high-quality early childhood education.
We believe that each child is a unique and capable learner, and our programs exist to build upon each child’s growth and development through observation, assessment, documentation and interaction. We believe that the first five years of a child’s life are a precious and invaluable time to nurture, promote and encourage social, emotional, cognitive, and character-building competencies.
We accomplish this through creating authentic and dynamic learning environments that promote curiosity, caring relationships and connections through developmentally appropriate individualized instruction. The interactions your child has during this period of life are of utmost importance to us. Because of this, we encourage parental engagement and individualized curriculum based on your child’s and family’s needs.
