About Habitots Preschool in Middle Island

Appointed with state-of-the-art security equipment and meticulously maintained, Habitots is beautiful, safe, and efficient. Throughout the halls and classrooms, you will find caring, hard-working, knowledgeable, and simply incredible, certified staff, all of whom love what they do.

These are some of the wonderful things our families have said about our school:

• “It feels like family. I’m also comfortable bringing my daughter there knowing she will be in good hands.”
• “The friendliness of the staff and cleanliness of the school.”
• “I feel confident in the overall care and learning my son is receiving. His teachers are attentive, caring, and intentional with my son.”

Our Philosophy

Children are born ready to learn. The desire to discover and absorb is never more concentrated than during the first five years of life—and we only get one chance to do it right. We know that your decision to entrust your child’s early education to someone is a momentous one, and a privilege that is earned and should never be taken for granted.

That’s why at Habitots, our goals are to create a welcoming environment that reflects each child’s family, interests, cultures and differing abilities; build a warm relationship with every family that becomes a part of ours; and offer learning opportunities that stretch what every child knows about themselves and their capabilities.

At Habitots, we believe that:

• Every child is unique, and a “one size fits all” approach to learning ultimately fits none.
• Teaching children should not come from a place of ego or dictation. Adults in their lives should work cooperatively with one another as partners in their development.
• Learning happens through play and reinforcement of teachable moments during a process that includes awareness, exploration, inquiry, and application.
• To teach, we must first truly understand children, how they develop, and strategize on how to encourage and affirm their blossoming.
