Welcome

Since 1980, our mission remains unchanged: “To support those who seek to raise stable and loving children in a chaotic world.”  We specialize in partnering with families to create rich, meaningful learning experiences through personalized education plans and customized schedules. Our Family School programs (ages six weeks to four years: Infant; Toddler; Pre-school) and our Salt Box School programs (ages four to six years: Pre-Kindergarten; Kindergarten) provide outstanding early childhood education which is accredited by the National Association of Young Children. In all that we do in our school programs, teachers and children embrace nature-based creative play, instructor designed age appropriate curriculum, social/emotional and peer coaching, along with physical skill building in a wide range of indoor and outdoor activities all in our beautiful school setting in Brewster, Massachusetts. Come see us in action – we welcome your visit!

Thank you for welcoming our family to your school this and for making the transition a good one for us. We’re so pleased with the love and guidance that our son is receiving, and are amazed by the growth he’s shown in just a few months. The Family School is a wonderful place and we’re so happy that our son is here!

My inquisitive daughters are bright, curious, engaging, learners, musicians, artists, and thinkers. Their five early years at The Family School has set each of them up for success in every area of their lives. They have made treasured friends that will last their lifetime. I am well beyond grateful.
