Our Educational Philosophy: Where Learning Meets Love
Children don’t just need academics—they need to feel seen, valued, and safe enough to take risks. At Somerset Academy, we reject the factory model of early education where every child is expected to develop on the same timeline or fit into the same mold. Instead, we embrace a play-based, child-led approach grounded in developmental science and cultural responsiveness. Our educators understand that a four-year-old mastering emotional regulation is just as significant as recognizing letters, that collaborative play teaches skills no worksheet ever could, and that curiosity is the foundation of all meaningful learning. We create intentional learning environments where materials reflect the diverse world children live in, where questions are celebrated more than correct answers, and where mistakes are reframed as discoveries. Our low teacher-to-student ratios ensure every child receives individualized attention, and our ongoing professional development keeps our team at the forefront of early childhood best practices. We partner with families as co-educators, recognizing that parents are their child’s first and most important teachers. This means regular communication, transparent sharing of developmental milestones, and genuine collaboration when challenges arise. At Somerset Academy, we’re not just preparing children for school—we’re preparing them for life by building the confidence, empathy, and critical thinking skills that will serve them forever.
Why Families Choose Somerset Academy
Parents tell us they chose Somerset Academy because they could feel the difference the moment they walked through our doors. It’s in the way our teachers greet each child by name with genuine warmth. It’s in the carefully curated classrooms that spark imagination rather than overwhelm senses. It’s in our commitment to keeping class sizes small so no child gets lost in the shuffle. Families stay with us—many from infancy through kindergarten—because they witness real growth. They see their shy toddler blossom into a confident preschooler who advocates for themselves. They watch their energetic child learn to channel that energy into creative projects and collaborative problem-solving. They appreciate our transparent communication, from daily reports on infant milestones to detailed progress conferences for preschoolers. Our location in the heart of the community means convenience for working families, and our extended hours and after-school programs provide consistency and continuity. But what parents value most is trust. They trust that their child’s unique personality will be honored, that their family’s cultural values will be respected, that any developmental concerns will be addressed with expertise and compassion, and that their child is genuinely loved by the adults caring for them each day. Somerset Academy families become part of a community that extends beyond classroom walls—forming friendships, supporting each other, and collectively investing in the next generation. When you choose Somerset Academy, you’re not just enrolling your child in a program—you’re joining a village committed to raising healthy, happy, whole children.
