Early Childhood

Principia’s Reggio Emilia-inspired Early Childhood programs help young children—and their parents—take those important first steps on the road to lifelong learning and growth. Our offerings include an Early Learning Center, which operates daily during the school year; the weekly on-campus and online Acorn Program; and Preschool classes for three- and four-year-olds.
