The Amherst Day School, known as The Little Red Schoolhouse, is a preschool for children ages 3.5 to 5 years. The school itself is located on the campus of Amherst College in Amherst, Massachusetts.

The school employs a theme-based curriculum in which students are encouraged to learn through their own natural inquisitiveness.

We hope that this blog will answer any questions you have. Please do not hesitate to contact the Director, Therese Ross, at (413) 253-5259 for more information or to arrange a visit.

About Us

The Little Red Schoolhouse offers a warm, loving atmosphere where young children learn by playing. We provide a secure environment in which children can extend their creative play skills especially in group play. Our theme-based curriculum includes integrated units addressing topics of interest to young children.

We are committed to the goal of expanding awareness of multi-racial and multi-cultural diversity in philosophy, program, staffing, and enrollment.

Parents are also an important part of our program. They are free to visit and participate frequently in all aspects of The Little Red Schoolhouse. Along with college students and other visitors, parents help the children learn about people of different backgrounds, ages, and genders.
