Building Meaningful Relationships
Every stage of early childhood is filled with milestones, discoveries, and growing confidence.
That's why each of our programs is thoughtfully designed to meet your child where they are today while encouraging them to take the next step at their own pace. As your child moves through our school, they'll build meaningful relationships with caring teachers, discover new interests, and develop the confidence, curiosity, and independence that prepare them for a lifetime of learning.

About Shiny Little Stars Early Childhood & Preschool
Your Child Will Spend More Time Outdoors
Children aren't meant to spend their day sitting inside. Our outdoor learning spaces are one of the things families remember most after visiting. Weather permitting, children spend approximately three hours outdoors each day exploring nature, building friendships, developing confidence, and learning through hands-on experiences. From our playgrounds and outdoor classrooms to our observation deck, the outdoors becomes another classroom where curiosity naturally grows.
Learning That Builds Confidence
Using The Experience Curriculum, children develop language, early literacy, math, science, creativity, physical skills, and social-emotional confidence through engaging, hands-on experiences that make learning meaningful.
Our goal isn't simply to prepare children for kindergarten.
It's to help them become kind, curious, resilient, confident learners who love discovering the world around them.
More Than a Preschool Experience
Throughout the year, your children enjoy enrichment opportunities that expand their interests and abilities, including: gymnastics, soccer, music, and visits to the Stamford Museum & Nature Center
These experiences encourage confidence, creativity, teamwork, movement, and a lifelong love of learning while bringing even more excitement to each week.
