Berkshire Early Childhood Center

Berkshire Local Schools recently expanded its high-quality education offerings to preschool students with the opening of the Berkshire Early Childhood Center at the start of the 2023-24 school year. Featuring a safe, nurturing, and engaging learning environment taught by qualified and caring staff, the Early Childhood Center is open to fully potty-trained preschoolers ages 3 to 5 years. With an emphasis on learning through play, students have access to indoor and outdoor play spaces which encourage exploration, imagination, and hands-on learning. The age-appropriate curriculum also promotes the development of problem-solving, critical thinking, and social skills.
