Programs

The Learning Circle is a preschool and kindergarten for children ages 2.9 through 6 which serves Canton, Milton and the surrounding communities. Preschool programs are half-day, with two, three, five day, enrichment and extended day options. Early drop off begins at 7:30am and children may stay as late as 4;30pm. Please see the Hours information below for details. Each classroom is carefully balanced to assure an enriching experience for all the children, and is staffed by fully trained, professional and experienced teachers. The Learning Circle Preschool places great emphasis on individual attention, and the children who attend enjoy a low student / teacher ratio.
