The Neighborhood Schoolhouse is a licensed center based child care program. We currently serve children from 6 weeks old to 7 years old in five classrooms. We are engaged in a plan to rebuild our elementary school programs in the coming years, which began with reinstating our kindergarten (Peregrine) classroom in the fall of 2025.

GOSLING
Our Gosling room serves children from 6 weeks old to younger toddlers. The classroom is led by Annie and Lizz who believe in the inherent capabilities of children. We provide an engaging environment for these young learners, fostering their curiosity and promoting exploration. Daily caregiving routines, such as diapering, feeding, and sleeping, are viewed as opportunities to nurture and connect with the children. |
OWLET
The Owlet classroom is filled with the young toddlers of Neighborhood Schoolhouse. Carson and Randii immerse these young students in a wide variety of activities, including regular sensory play and musical instruments. They explore every inch of the campus through adventures into the woods, circle time in the gazebo, visits to the garden, and time mixing age groups with the older children on the lower playground. They learn how to co-exist within their classroom community as they build relationships with their peers and caregivers, as well as grow in their sense of self.

STARLING
Rebecca and Gemma teach the older toddlers in the Starling class. With a strong focus on fostering independence, our young learners are encouraged to explore and inquire about the world around them. We dedicate ample time to outdoor adventures, embracing nature in all weather and seasons. Child-led art projects provide opportunities for creativity and engaging sensory experiences. Our daily circle time fosters community as we come together to share songs and dance, nurturing connections among peers and caregivers alike. |

Raven
The Raven classroom, led by Chris (aka Cash) and Chris, welcomes children aged 3 to 4 years old. Our play-based approach emphasizes the development of social-emotional skills while providing enriching experiences that connect children with the natural world. We nurture their inherent curiosity, sense of wonder, and community orientation within a multi-age and multi-environment setting. Additionally, we are proud to be an approved Private Pre-Kindergarten through the Agency of Education, ensuring a high-quality early learning experience for our students. |

Peregrine
The Peregrine classroom, led by Ana, was opened in the fall of 2025 and welcomed kindergarten students back to Neighborhood Schoolhouse! This warm, cozy classroom invites learning beyond worksheets, creating a space where children can take ownership over their education. Learning extends beyond the walls of the school as the Peregrine students venture into their forest classroom that they have shaped with intention. By being allowed autonomy and agency in their education, learning becomes meaningful and these students are excited by what they will learn at Neighborhood each day! |
