Private, non-profit preschool located in Lexington, Massachusetts.
At My Weekday School, we strive to offer excellent teaching, beautiful classrooms, and inspiring programs to children of all cultures, faiths, and walks of life.
MWS is a happy and engaging place away from home. Our caring teachers provide hands-on experiences and positive feedback to stimulate social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth. We provide a thoughtfully planned, developmentally appropriate curriculum to help children gain the skills they will need as they prepare for the next level. As children enjoy what’s familiar and gradually master what’s difficult, they gain confidence in their ability to succeed in school.
We believe all children start on a predictable path of development and that they reveal their individual strengths, personalities, and preferences as they explore the world around them. By offering a broad variety of experiences, we help them establish the skills and self-control they need to work and play effectively & happily with others. Above all else, we make sure school is an exciting and fun place to be, so each child develops a life-long love of learning.
Our Programs
Preschool
Our Preschool program is for children 2 years 9 months up to turning 4 years old. The main program runs from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, and includes classroom time, outdoor time, gross motor play in our Big Room, snack, and weekly specialist classes. We focus on helping children to become comfortable with the routines of the school day and making successful transitions between activities. Children also become more proficient in fine and gross motor activities, turn taking and sharing, and self-care skills. We foster their growing independence and encourage meaningful social interactions with the adults and peers in the classroom.
Pre-K
Our Pre-Kindergarten program is for children who are age-eligible for kindergarten the following year. The main Pre-K program runs from 9:00am to 1:00 pm and follows a similar schedule to Preschool, also including lunch brought from home. We stretch out the day and include lunch to build the stamina children will need for a longer school day in Kindergarten, as well as helping children learn to manage lunch independently. The Pre-K curriculum builds on what the children learned in the Preschool program, and includes pre-academic work in math, literacy and science. The fine motor skills they acquired in Preschool help them in forming letters and numbers, and they become more competent in following multi-step instructions to complete classroom tasks. This will set the children up for success in kindergarten and beyond.
“This pre-school provides lots of classrooms, a lot of indoor space for when you can’t go outside, excellent teachers, a great community. It is the second pre-school I have sent my daughter to and it just doesn’t even compare to the first. They do so much at MWS. I love it!!”
