"I believe that our own experience instructs us that the secret of education lies in respecting the pupil. It is not for you to choose what he shall know, what he shall do. It is chosen and foreordained and he only holds the key to his own secret"
-RALPH WALDO EMERSON

Infant/Toddler Program
In 2025, Emerson's skilled educarers began offering a special once per month program to the younger siblings of enrolled students, and their special grown up(s)!
Grown ups and babies join Ms. Christina as she shares the Magda Gerber Educaring approach to respecting infants through close observation and compassionate communication - with less intervention. Set the logistics, anxiety and judgment at the door and relax in community with your littles for an hour of Emerson magic.
Older toddler siblings join Ms. Kim in the Monet Room next door for an hour of art, music and movement exploration.
summer programming
We offer four weeks of half day Emerson fun!
Each week has a different theme, such as "elements" where children were invited to explore their curiosities about water, earth, air and fire! Register for one week, or up to all four! This program began in summer 2024, and has quickly become a favorite among Emerson staff and students alike!
