About SLS Preschool

Providing excellence in early childhood education and kindergarten preparedness since 1948

For the past 75 years, SLS has consistently delivered exceptional early childhood education, equipping preschoolers with the necessary skills for a smooth transition to kindergarten. SLS remains dedicated to providing a well-rounded approach, blending pre-academic curriculum with imaginative play and exploration, igniting a sense of curiosity and fostering a lifelong love for learning.

SLS focuses on providing a warm and welcoming environment where young children can thrive with the support and encouragement of talented, passionate teachers, where traditions are celebrated, and where close relationships with families are fostered.

We are blessed by our students’ acceptance into many outstanding schools: Burke’s, Hamlin, Convent, Stuart Hall, Town, Cathedral, MCDS, Adda Clevenger, Saint Brendan’s, and SVDP.

Head of School

As I approach my 47th year in education I am still filled with excitement and joy each day I watch our students experiencing the wonder of learning. It is a lifelong journey and it begins now.

Our Campus

Our vibrant, centrally located building provides a beautiful urban campus to call home. SLS is noted for its welcoming environment, lovely roof garden and play area, and cozy classrooms that have become a treasured place for play and exploration. The goal is to create an atmosphere of joyful learning at school.

Dedicated, Creative & Tenured

SLS has a wonderful, creative group of tenured and new teachers with over 200 years of collective experience. The teachers are inspired by best practices and leading pedagogy in early childhood education. They are dedicated, committed people who teach with intention and purpose.
