Preschool
Beanstalk School in Queen Village is a Keystone STARS 4 child care center. We offer Reggio Emilia-inspired preschool learning that values children’s curiosity, creativity and hands-on exploration. We use The Creative Curriculum for Preschool to guide purposeful play and integrate STEAM into everyday experiences.
PHL PreK: a free foundation
Our PHL PreK program runs from 8:00 AM to 1:30 PM. PHL PreK serves eligible Philadelphia residents who are 3 or 4 years old by September 1 of the enrollment year. Contact us about enrollment requirements and current availability.
Extended care for working families
Extended care is available for an additional monthly fee. Ask Beanstalk School in Queen Village about hours, fees and options for your family.
Supporting growth over time
Teachers observe everyday play and use Teaching Strategies GOLD to document and track development. They plan around each child’s strengths, interests and needs, gradually introduce more complex skills and identify areas where extra practice or support may help.
Consistent, thoughtful teaching
We review classroom observations, checklists, lesson plans, documentation and checkpoints to support consistent curriculum use. Teachers reflect on their practice and individualize instruction. Resources include the Curriculum Guide, Intentional Teaching Experiences, Mighty Minutes, studies and other Creative Curriculum materials.
