Early Childhood Education

Welcome to the Mohawk Trail Regional and Hawlemont Regional Early Childhood page! Our pre-k programs offer a range a opportunities, both in the classroom and outdoors on our beautiful school grounds, for children to explore, be creative,  and to develop a life-long love of learning. We embed the Massachusetts state standards for pre-k classrooms into the daily curriculum and through both imaginative play and teacher directed activities. Children work to develop self-regulation skills, social skills such as problem solving and communication, as well as cognitive flexibility and creativity. Teachers and other early childhood professionals are able to modify and scaffold materials, strategies, and activities that respond to the individual learning needs of all of our students. Families and caregivers are welcomed into our schools and are encouraged to be active participants in their child’s learning experiences. We hope this page serves as a resource for our staff and families!
