Early Education Vision
-
As our students live in an increasingly globalized world, Framingham Public Schools, in collaboration with families and our community, will ensure that every child grows and thrives in our Early Education Program. Our interdisciplinary, culturally-responsive curriculum aims for all students to embrace diversity and be a valued member of their school community. Our goal is to support student growth by building their foundational social-emotional and academic skills through hands-on, play-based, shared learning experiences that foster confident, successful lifelong learners.
Preschool Programming

Early Education at Framingham Public Schools offers Preschool learning opportunities at our BLOCKS Preschool location for children who will be 3 years old by August 31st. Enrollment is ongoing for 3 year old children who are identified to receive special education services.
If you suspect your child may have a disability in any area, including: learning, social, language or gross/fine motor development, a Special Education Screening will assist in determining if further/formal assessment of skills in any area is warranted.
