Preschool Prep
Program
Small, nurturing classrooms give toddlers a safe, warm, and engaging place to begin their early learning experience.
When your child is ready to begin their first school experience, you want a place that feels safe, warm, and genuinely loving. At The London Day School, our Preschool Prep program gives toddlers ages 18 to 24 months a gentle, joyful introduction to early learning. A preschool that honors who they are and supports who they are becoming.
Families from Florham Park, Madison, Chatham, Morristown, Livingston, and nearby New Jersey towns choose us because our classrooms are intentionally small, cozy, and nurturing. Your child is never just one of many. They are known, cared for, and supported every single day.
Why Families Trust us?
The London Day School is a place where your child is safe, loved, and encouraged to explore. Our Preschool Prep program provides toddlers with small class sizes, hands-on curriculum, and warm, supportive teachers to help them build confidence, independence, and a love of learning from the very start.
Our Preschool Prep program offers:
- A warm, nurturing environment designed specifically for toddlers
- Small class sizes for individualized attention
- Caring, responsive teachers who build trusting relationships
- A developmentally rich curriculum that supports early milestones
- A safe, joyful space where toddlers feel confident and secure
Your child’s first school experience shapes how they feel about learning for years to come. We take that responsibility to heart.
Our Scaffolding Approach to Learning
At The London Day School, our Preschool program uses a scaffolding approach to learning: meeting each child where they are and guiding them forward with intention.
Our teachers observe each child closely, identify emerging skills, and provide just‑right challenges that help them stretch, explore, and grow.
A Balanced Curriculum through Play, Academics & Character Education
We believe young children learn best through exploration, play, and meaningful interaction. That’s why we use a scaffolding approach to learning, meeting each child exactly where they are and gently guiding them to the next stage of development with intentional support.
Daily Enrichment: Arts, Creative Play, Outdoor Exploration, and More
Every day is filled with warmth, discovery, and joyful learning. In addition to academics and character education, our toddlers enjoy:
- Daily outdoor play on our age-appropriate playground
- Creative art projects
- Music, movement, and sensory activities
- Hands-on exploration that sparks curiosity
With patient teachers and a warm, predictable environment, children feel safe to explore who they are becoming. Most importantly, they finish the year ready for our Early Preschool program.
