About Us
 The Acton Public Schools Preschool opened in September 1994. It provides a local, inclusive standards based, learning environment for young children. There are some children enrolled who learn in a typical manner and others who have identified special education needs. This is a developmentally based early childhood program that provides each child the opportunity to learn and grow at his or her own pace. It is a fun place to play and learn for all children involved! Parent involvement is encouraged and welcomed.
All children of preschool age will participate fully in a learning environment within their community.
- All children can be successful.
- All children can learn and develop.
- All children learn and develop at their own pace given their unique learning styles.
- All children learn through active exploration of their environments.
- All children learn through interaction with peers and adults.
- All children need a nurturing, predictable environment in which to grow and learn.
- Play is the foundation of a child's learning and development.
- All children learn best in an "inclusive", child-centered, developmentally appropriate environment.
- The role of adults is to support and facilitate each child's learning.
