Programs

We understand how difficult is is to find quality programs that meet the needs of busy families who run on a variety of schedules. Whether you are looking for a superior quality preschool on a part-time or full-time basis, enriching ways for your older child to spend time before and/or after school, or an occasional evening of hassle-free childcare, we offer a program that will fit your family's needs.

Toddler

The Toddler Program is open to children age 15 months to 2.8 years old. We offer flexible scheduling for 2 to 5 days per week where families choose which days fit their needs.

Our Toddler Program creates a safe space for successful play and discovery. We provide an environment that enhances learning, minimizes inappropriate behavior, and reinforces a toddler's need for self-competence.  We help foster a strong emotional bond with teachers where children feel a sense of trust and safety where they are free to do their "work" - play, explore, and learn. Our curriculum focuses on age-appropriate toddler development that encourages the toddler to explore and discover the world around them. 

Preschool

Carlisle Kids' House Preschool opened in 2004, and since that time, the staff has dedicated itself to providing a high quality early childhood preschool and childcare facility to the families of Carlisle and its surrounding communities. Our facility provides a homey atmosphere with opportunities for a wide variety of developmentally stimulating activities both indoors and out.
 
The preschool uses the Harcourt curriculum, a well-tested method of literacy development that teaches spoken language, reading, and skills are taught in an environment that encourages repeated exposure through listening, letter manipulation, games, and creative activities. We are licensed by the Massachusetts Early Education and Care Department.
 
Enrollment is accepted for children ages 2.9 years to Pre-K. The program operates weekdays from 7:30 AM to 6:15 PM and offers a variety of scheduling options.

Extended Day

The Extended Day program provides a "home away from home" for school-aged children in grades K through 6.
 
Our morning program starts at 7:30 AM, when the staff greets arriving students with activities designed to help them transition smoothly into the school day and then wait with them in the driveway until the school bus arrives. In the afternoon, our staff meets every bus carrying students to CKH to make sure all students are safe and accounted for. During the afternoon, we offer a variety of indoor and outdoor activities including story times, crafts, cooking, science projects, homework club, music practice, sports. On early release days and teacher professional days, we also offer field trips and special seasonal events. We are open until 6:15 PM on weekday evenings.
 
The Carlisle Extended Day Curriculum is based on the theory of Multiple Intelligences developed by Dr.Howard Gardner in 1983. This theory encourages the support and development of eight different intelligences: Linguistic, Logical-mathematical, Spatial, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Musical, Interpersonal(people-smart), Intrapersonal (self smart), and Naturalist.​
