About the Samuel Morey Preschool
The Rivendell Early Childhood Program (RECP) was created in 2001 to coordinate a continuum of quality early education services within a school context, promote the joy of learning, and engage families in the education of their children. At that time, the program was based in a single classroom in the Westshire Elementary School.
In 2007, the RECP expanded to include a second classroom in the Samuel Morey Elementary School. Since that time, the emphasis at the Samuel Morey Preschool has been on providing an exceptional child-centered educational experience that supports children’s learning and well-being in all of the domains (social/emotional, physical/health, language, literacy, creative expression, mathematics, science, and social studies) set forth in the Vermont Early Learning Standards. In addition, parental and family inclusion and involvement have been a central focus of the Samuel Morey Preschool philosophy. Of great importance to us is the essential concept that children should learn through their preschool experience that school is an exciting, joyful, caring and rewarding place to be.
