Purposeful play
Play is a child’s work. Teachers set up meaningful materials and invitations that build confidence, language, and problem-solving.
Programs for growing minds
Every stage gets the care, challenge, and encouragement it deserves.
Somerset Academy serves children from 6 weeks to 6 years with responsive care and developmentally appropriate learning experiences.
