 Welcome to the Milford Preschool website. The Milford Preschool program emphasizes the importance of positive social interactions and healthy emotional development, as these provide the foundation for all social relations. It is our belief that all of these areas of development: physical, emotional, social and intellectual are of equal importance. The main objective of the Milford Preschool program is to provide each child with a foundation from which he or she can meet the challenge of more complex skills.
This program is designed to meet the needs of young children specifically three to five years old. It provides experiences that enrich and enhance each child's cognitive, language, social, emotional, physical and creative development. Each child has the opportunities to create, explore the environment, learn problem solving, personal interaction skills and develop concepts through first hand experiences.
This State Licensed facility is owned and operated by Sheri Flanagan. Sheri has held a Child Day Care Center License with the State of Connecticut since 1993. She is a State of Connecticut certified lead teacher who has earned a CDA in Early Childhood Development, a State of Connecticut Directors Credential in Early Childhood Development, a degree in Early Childhood Education with an award for outstanding academic achievement in ECE. Moreover, Sheri was honored as the class speaker at her graduation from The Parent Leadership Training Institute.
Our staff consists of highly motivated, dedicated teachers. We pride ourselves on continuing our education through participation in university courses, workshops, seminars, conferences and forums with respect to Early Childhood Education, child development, social service, health, nutrition, first aid, and child abuse. All teachers are certified yearly in First-Aid, CPR, medication dispensing and Epi-Pen injection administration.
