Daycare Program

Before School Care Program

Kindergarten

In Stratford’s kindergarten program, students tackle math, grammar, phonics, and reading in the morning, while afternoon sessions feature music, writing, Spanish, and science several times each week. Kindergarten students learn to explore subjects more deeply – allowing for greater understanding, more critical thinking, and analysis. Kindergarteners begin formal recitation to develop public speaking skills, and teachers use poetry, music, and reading aloud to promote students’ self-assurance in front of a group. While academically challenging, Stratford kindergarten classes embody the pillars of Stratford School spirit – joyful warmth, sparkling intelligence, and passionate commitment.

Summer Camp

Stratford offers a variety of summer camp options including Day Camps, Academic, Specialty, and Sports Camps. Our campers explore new activities, master new skills, and build lifelong friendships during their time with us in the summer.

Note: Part-time programming is subject to availabilty.
