The Charter School for Young Children on Asylum Hill is an innovative school that focuses on developing children’s vocabulary and literacy skills through hands-on, inquiry-based experiences. Children enjoy a myriad of activities that are structured to increase a child’s natural inquisitiveness and love of learning. Each child’s interests and skills are considered in the planning and creation of the classroom environment and instruction.

The school is located on a setting that enhances learning in a natural environment. CREC, St. Joseph’s College, and the Asylum Hill Congregational Church have joined together to create this school that is used to train new teachers how to provide a high quality education to young children.
