Preschool

“In our first year at Durham Academy, our experience has completely exceeded our every expectation. The unmatched passion every single teacher — across subjects, classrooms, Aftercare and Extended Day — brings to their work, for every single child, is awe-inducing and inspiring.”

"Our son’s teachers provide a remarkable learning experience. Their warmth, thoughtful approach to early childhood education and joy for teaching create an environment that has him excitedly racing toward his classroom door every morning. We are impressed with how well his teachers understand him as a person, reflecting a deep level of awareness of their students."

“The truth is that choosing a school for our child involved quite a bit of soul-searching. But that angst resulted in the best possible reward — a happy child! Every single day when I pick him up, our son rates his day as ‘a googol.’ He radiates positive energy, which I know is a direct reflection of the energy he receives at school.”

“One thing that stands out for us in the Preschool has been the overall classroom experience. Throughout the day, the children engage with each other in various activities and travel to enrichment classrooms. There really seems to be something for each child’s interest, and they get exposure to a wide variety. They also each have their own responsibilities as part of the daily class structure — a favorite being the line leader!”
