What Your Child Learns Matters
At Mrs. Durgin's fully licensed Preschool and Daycare, we use an early learning curriculum, a program designed to nurture the whole child. This professionally developed curriculum supports social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth through engaging, theme-based activities. With a focus on hands-on exploration, creativity, and skill development, our early learning curriculum fosters a love for learning while preparing children for future academic success.

Welcome to Mrs. Durgin's Preschool
At Mrs. Durgin's Preschool, we provide a nurturing, supportive, home-like environment where children feel safe, loved, and excited to learn. Our play-based curriculum fosters independence, confidence, and social fluency while supporting growth in all areas—social, cognitive, emotional, and physical.
We create a "yes" environment where children explore freely, engage in open-ended play, and develop problem-solving skills. Child-sized furniture and thoughtfully designed spaces encourage movement, interaction, and creativity. Outside, we embrace nature and active play, from riding big wheels to water and sand exploration.
Our curriculum focuses on life skills, motor development, and social-emotional learning. We celebrate the process of discovery—whether through arts and crafts, storytelling, or imaginative play—allowing children to express themselves with confidence.
We also prioritize healthy routines, offering family-style dining with fresh, nutritious meals and a quiet nap or relaxation period to recharge.
At Mrs. Durgin’s Preschool, children thrive in a supportive setting that nurtures curiosity, self-expression, and friendships. They’ll love it so much, they won’t want to leave!
