Welcome to Pre-K and Kindergarten!    
Wilby Primary Building    
Both the Pre-K and Kindergarten programs are held in the Wilby Primary Building. Built in 2007, it is a state-of-the-art facility encompassing a total of 4,400 square feet of spacious classrooms, well-lit activity space and room to stretch and grow.
 
 
 
There is a kitchen used for cooking experiences, child-sized bathrooms and individual cubbies for each child. Tall windows allow lots of natural light and the back door opens onto an impressive playground filled with equipment that encourages gross motor growth, as well as growth in imaginations!
Traveling to Special Classes    
Once a day, students take a walk to their special classes. Physical education is held in a full size gymnasium, Art in an art studio, music classes are held in a cottage filled with unique instruments and when it is time to visit the library, everyone quietly enters the Young Library with over 12,000 volumes.

 

It’s a world both big and small, where children feel secure in their home-based setting, and yet are able to stretch themselves with full inclusion in what they call “the big school” and full access to all Chapin has to offer its students.


"Three different children. Three great Pre-K and Kindergarten experiences. We are truly grateful for the gift of a Chapin education and happy childhood environment."
Parent Beth Covin P'13, P'16, P'19
