Educators at The Children’s School are emphasizing what decades of research confirm: the earliest years of a child’s life lay the foundation for future success. While genetics provide the blueprint, relationships—especially with teachers—shape how children learn, remember, and thrive.
For over 60 years, The Children’s School has focused on the importance of beginnings. The school centers its teaching on respect, careful listening, and the readiness of each child. Teachers create environments that nurture curiosity, support emotional well-being, and build social confidence. “When children feel heard, they become confident learners,” says Maureen Murphy, Head of School. “We introduce new skills at just the right time, when each child is ready. That’s how intellectual ability grows naturally—and joyfully.”
In the classrooms, children explore their world under the guidance of skilled and caring teachers. This nurturing approach provides what experts say is most critical: strong beginnings that shape a lifetime of learning.
The Children’s School serves children ages 3 to 8 and is located at 118 Scofieldtown Road in Stamford, Connecticut.
Families are invited to tour the campus and meet the school community at an Open House on Friday, September 19, from 5:00 to 7:00pm. For
