At the Lillian Goldman Preschool in Millbrook, NY, learning begins with play and grows through connection, curiosity, and care. From age 3 through preschool, children build confidence in a joyful, child-centered environment where every day is full of hands-on discovery.

As they grow, our youngest learners become part of the whole DDS community. They form close bonds with their classmates, team up with 6th grade buddies for special activities, and begin exploring enrichment classes, including music, art, PE, and library, that spark new interests and help them see themselves as real students.

It’s more than an early childhood education: it’s where they take their first steps toward kindergarten, not just academically, but socially and emotionally, too. And because we know those early years lay the foundation, we support each child every step of the way through eighth grade.

“Our preschoolers get to experience PE, library, art, and music classes with our dedicated specialist teachers.”

We understand that choosing the right preschool for your child is a significant decision. At Lillian Goldman Preschool, we are committed to providing a warm, nurturing environment where your child can thrive, learn, and grow.

• Children with fall birthdays will meet with teachers to determine the best year of entry.

“We take advantage of our school’s surrounding habitats – fields, woods, streams, wetlands, pond, and working gardens – as learning centers.”
