Early Childhood Program Admission

More than a preschool, our Early Childhood Program embraces our School’s youngest learners in a nurturing environment through interdisciplinary and inquiry-based study to encourage a life-long love of learning, while also emphasizing emotional and social development.

The Early Childhood Program (ECP) is home to three developmentally-appropriate offerings: Two-Year-Olds, Pre-School (three- and four-year olds), and Junior Kindergarten.

Questions? Please reach out to the Admission office: (434) 220-4240 or admission@stab.org.

Please Note: Children are eligible for enrollment in the Early Childhood Program only if they have reached the age of 2 for the Twos class, or 3 or 4 for Preschool, before August 18, 2026. This date is subject to the 2026-27 formal school calendar being issued.
