Begin your child’s journey to school and lifelong learning at Bowen. Bowen’s Pre-K program offers a unique opportunity for a third year of pre-school. Pre-K combines an exciting mix of academics and social skills brought together by a dedicated team of teachers. These older 4’s and young 5’s work toward goals comparable to those in kindergarten but at a modified pace in a much smaller community with a 7:1 child teacher ratio. This class of 14 quickly becomes a cohesive group working and playing together with enthusiasm. The program runs Monday-Friday from 8:30 am-1:00 pm.
Parents are encouraged to visit the school to observe firsthand how your child will benefit from Bowen’s Pre-K program. For more information about Bowen’s Pre-K program and an application form, please contact Bowen’s Director Nina Tebaldi at 617-332-3923 or visit www.BowenCoop.org.
