Ages served
Serves children ages 2 through 12, spanning preschool classes (Two's, Three's, Four's) and an afterschool program for older children.

A non-profit, nonsectarian center with a play-based teaching model and a focus on nurturing and educating the whole child.
Two's program
For two-year-olds, meeting three hours twice a week on Thursday and Friday from 8:45-11:45am. The classroom is designed around a two-year-old's need to touch and explore the world around them.
Three's program
For three-year-olds, with a choice of a 3-day class (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday) or a 5-day class (every weekday), both meeting mornings from 9am to 12pm. Themes span animals, friendship, self, seasons, weather, nature, shapes, and nursery rhymes.
Four's program
For four-year-olds, meeting five days a week from 9am to 12pm, building kindergarten readiness. Units span fire safety, family, community, other cultures, earth science, role-playing, poetry and rhymes, physical science, counting, art appreciation, and whole language.
Extended-day options
Preschool families can add early drop-off starting at 7:30am, Lunch Bunch from 12pm-2pm for Three's and Four's, and full-day care from 7:30am to 6pm for ages 3-4.
Afterschool
An extended-day afterschool program for children ages 3-12 offers flexible hours, teacher-directed free play, group games and sports, staff-guided homework time, and hands-on exploration in art, math, science, and engineering. Bus service from Weston Public Schools is provided.
Daily schedule
The center operates Monday through Friday, 7:30am to 6pm.
Safety & health
A peanut-free facility. Children and staff wash hands on entering the building and throughout the day, staff disinfect tables, chairs, and toys throughout the day, and a professional third-party crew disinfects the center nightly. Air purifiers are placed throughout the building, and families receive a copy of the center's Health Guidelines & Procedures.
Location
At 64 Norfield Road in the heart of Weston, CT, in close proximity to the Weston Public School campus, with walking trips to the Weston Public Library and a Four's "move up day" where students ride a bus to the elementary school to meet kindergarten teachers.
Scholarships
Offers the Elena Coulter Spence Scholarship Fund, a needs-based scholarship for children enrolled in Norfield preschool classes, awarded in an amount up to $2,000 per school year based on financial need.
Program details can change, so ask about current openings, exact age cutoffs for each class, which preschool schedule fits your child, afterschool days and pickup logistics, add-on options (early drop-off, Lunch Bunch, full-day care), tuition, scholarship eligibility, and tour availability before making plans.
