A Preschool Built Around the Whole Child

At Millie's Universe, we believe preschool should be more than preparing children for kindergarten. These early years are an opportunity to build confidence, independence, communication, curiosity and a genuine love of learning. Our program provides purposeful teacher guided learning, hands-on exploration and individualized support within a warm and welcoming classroom environment.

Our Curriculum

Millie's Universe uses the Creative Curriculum for Preschool, a research based curriculum designed to support children's development through exploration, discovery, and purposeful play.

Classroom experiences build skills across key areas including language and literacy, mathematics, science, social-emotional development, physical development, and creative arts.


Our learning experiences are also aligned with the
New York State Prekindergarten Learning Standards,
helping children build a strong foundation for kindergarten and beyond.

Inside Our Classrooms

Our classrooms are intentionally organized to learning areas that encourage children to explore independence, work with their peers, and participate in teacher guided activities.

Why Our Preschool Program?

Small Classes.
Individualized attention.

We intentionally value a more personal learning environment where teachers can truly get to know the children in their classroom. Classrooms do not exceed 12 children. Teachers use ongoing observations to provide meaningful learning opportunities and individualized support.

An Inclusive
Preschool Community

Millie's Universe welcomes children of all abilities. We believe children benefit from learning in a community where differences are understood, supported, and celebrated. Our goal is to create an environment where every child feels that they belong while developing empathy, confidence, and respect for others.

Beyond the Classroom

Children have opportunities for outdoor play, movement and community experiences, including visits to Andrew Grove Park. These experiences encourage exploration, build confidence, and help children develop a greater understanding of the world around them.
