At Alton School in Davie, your child is not a number on a roster. Teachers know their name, their personality, what makes them laugh, and what they need to feel confident. From their very first day with us, they grow in a place that feels like home.
We follow the Reggio Emilia approach. That means children learn by doing, exploring, and asking questions — not by sitting still and memorizing. It’s the kind of school kids actually want to walk into in the morning.
Programs We Offer
One of the things that sets us apart is that your child never has to leave. Start with us as a toddler and grow all the way through 2nd grade in the same warm, familiar environment.
We give your littlest one a soft, safe place to begin. Sensory play, gentle routines, and a whole lot of love. Your baby is in good hands from the moment you drop them off.
Two-year-olds want to do everything themselves. We let them try. We build independence, early language skills, and confidence through play and hands-on discovery. Curiosity is always encouraged here.
Three-year-olds are storytellers, builders, and artists. We channel all of that energy into activities that grow their social skills, creativity, and ability to work with others. This is where friendships begin and personalities really start to shine
Our VPK programme gets children ready for kindergarten without making it feel like boot camp. We blend structured learning with play so children build real academic and social skills. They leave VPK genuinely excited about what comes next.
Kindergarten at Alton is where reading, writing, and maths come alive. We built our own curriculum for this age group because we know what works. Small classes mean no child gets left behind and every win gets noticed.
First grade goes deeper. Children build on what they learned in kindergarten and start thinking more independently. We challenge them in ways that feel exciting, not overwhelming..
By 2nd grade, our students are thinkers, leaders, and problem solvers. They leave ready for the next chapter with strong academics and even stronger character. This is what a strong start looks like.
One of the things that sets us apart is that your child never has to leave. Start with us as a toddler and grow all the way through 2nd grade in the same warm, familiar environment.
Most preschools stop at VPK. We do not. Children who start with us at one year old can stay through 2nd grade. Same teachers they trust. Same environment they feel safe in. No stressful transitions to unfamiliar schools.
We did not buy a curriculum off a shelf. We built our own for kindergarten through 2nd grade. It is academic, creative, and designed around how children actually learn best. The results speak for themselves.
Our classes are small on purpose. Teachers can give every child real attention, catch problems early, and build genuine relationships. Your child will never feel invisible in our school.
We follow the Reggio Emilia philosophy from Italy. Children learn through exploration, projects, and real-world experiences. No endless worksheets. Just meaningful, joyful learning.
We teach respect, responsibility, and leadership every single day, not just when a problem comes up. The children who leave Alton School carry those values with them for life.
Our teachers chose this work because they love children. They notice things. They check in. They celebrate the small stuff. You will feel that the first time you walk through our doors.
We are honored to continue the legacy of this wonderful school and build upon the strong foundation that has been created within our community.
Our mission remains the same — to provide a nurturing, safe, and inspiring environment where every child can learn, grow, and thrive.
♥ We are proud to be part of the Alton School family!
