Since 1974, the Walpole Village School has been preparing children for successful early childhood education. We are a non-profit offering preschool and pre-k for children aged two to five, and before and after-school care for children aged two to twelve. We provide a safe and stimulating environment for children to learn and socialize, guiding them to make kind, respectful choices in their school community. Children are challenged to explore the classroom space through a variety of age appropriate themed activities.
Early Childhood Education
|
At Walpole Village School we offer a flexible schedule to meet the needs of many. Our morning preschool offers a variety of play based activities to help children explore the world around us while learning social/emotional skills, early literacy and math skills. After our traditional preschool program ends at 11 AM, we offer lunch and nap time for children that stay for the full day.
Our afternoon Pre-K program is for kids age four by September 30th, this provides a more structured portion of the day teaching children more specific early learning skills that will help prepare them for a full day of kindergarten. |
Before & After Care
For kids ages two to twelve, we provide care before normal school hours starting at 7am and after normal school hours ending at 5pm. We work closely with the Walpole Primary School to ensure we can accommodate the needs of the working families in our community that need care beyond the traditional hours of public school.

Summer CampsFor kids ages 2-5 and 6-8
Our camp for two to five-year-olds is based out of WVS and mimics much of what our preschool day looks like. Summer camp weeks are theme based and families can pick and choose what days/weeks will work best for their child. Our camp for six to eight year olds is based out of WVS with walking field trips throughout the village built into the weeks. This too is theme based and we offer two day. three day or five day options to accommodate the needs of the families. |
