SHED Children's Campus

Curiosity-Driven Preschool & Before/After School Programs on the Beautiful Grounds of Phillips Academy.

Our Mission

Curiosity-Driven Learning

We believe that children are not things to be molded, but people to be unfolded, and that as educators, it is our job and responsibility to nurture a child’s innate curiosity and desire to learn.

It is our mission to create safe spaces in which every child can thrive.

Our Five Foundations for Learning

Through these five foundational concepts, we provide children the opportunity to explore the world around them. By exposing them to these core ideas, we are able to plant seeds. The children then dictate the teachings, learning through play and growing from their curiosity.

Nature

Mindfulness

Reggio Emilia

Community

Gardening

Creative, energetic, respectful, loving staff! Best kids program out there.

My 6yr old daughter LOVES this program. She raves about the great staff and how fun the weekly field trips are. I would definitely recommend the Shed program to anyone looking for adventure, diversity, and security for their kids program. My daughter will not be looking forward to the end of summer, and will miss all of the staff.

I love how SHED focuses on nature and getting these kids outside as much a possible. Especially since I’m so guilty of too much screen time at home 🙈🤷🏻‍♀️
