What the early childhood program looks like, day to day, from six weeks to kindergarten.
Plan a visitThe Early Childhood Education program runs year-round, full day, for children from six weeks through kindergarten. Classrooms are grouped by age so each child works at their own stage, with teachers trained for that age group.
Children spend part of every day outside. The program is nature-focused, and teachers plan outdoor activities alongside indoor ones. Play is the work of the day: puzzles, songs, dress-up, running, and quiet table time.
For three- and four-year-olds, OCPCC partners with local schools as a public pre-kindergarten provider, offering the full ten hours per week that the State of Vermont helps fund. Families are encouraged to visit before enrolling.
The center is licensed for 59 children and offers year-round, full-day early childhood education for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. It is a public pre-kindergarten partner with local schools for three- and four-year-olds, providing the full ten hours per week that the State of Vermont helps fund. Enrollment is ongoing from six weeks through five years. To schedule a visit, contact Early Education Program Director Julia Robinson.
Chipmunks are 6 weeks to age 2. These children move through major developmental changes — crawling, walking, running, talking. Teachers build a customized program around each child's needs. Children also learn to socialize in group activities. We treat play as a child's work and focus on supporting curiosity. That approach builds a love of learning in these early years.
The Otters are the two- and three-year-old classroom. Curiosity drives this room. Children color, work puzzles, sing songs, dress up, and run. Teachers set up the space so all of that can happen in a day, indoors and out. Children this age are learning to share materials, take turns, and use words with friends. Ask the teachers what your child liked best at pickup.
Bears are our 3- to 5-year-olds, the preschool class. They receive the 10-hour state-funded program that gets them ready for kindergarten, in addition to their regular hours. Families can choose mornings, afternoons, or all day.
Our Tunbridge center sits on 16 acres on the west side of the Rte 110/First Branch valley. There are streams, rocks, meadows, apple trees, and woodland trails. Children go outside for play and walks every day. Outdoor adventures are a regular part of the curriculum and provide a fresh perspective. We are also creating outdoor classrooms to help prevent the spread of the COVID virus.
The kitchen is at the heart of the program. The cook makes breakfast, lunch, and a snack from scratch every day for children and staff. In summer, grant funding from the Vermont Foodbank and the Agency of Agriculture lets the kitchen buy fresh produce, eggs, and cheese from local farmers. Children eat family style with their teachers, and mealtimes become teachable moments about the food and where it comes from.
In a licensed early childhood classroom, the day has a shape. Children arrive, settle into play, eat together, rest, and go outside. Teachers plan activities for the age group and follow each child's pace. Rooms are set up in zones so children can choose puzzles, books, art, or blocks, and teachers move among them.
The benefits show up at home. A child who has practiced taking turns, using words for feelings, and sitting at a table with others brings those habits to family meals and sibling play. They build the stamina for a school day. Ask the director what the day looks like for your child's age.
