They came with diplomas. They came with cookies and cameras. They came with a big banner and binders full of art. And they came with a bridge. A five-foot-long arched wooden bridge. With schools closed, and current guidelines limiting indoor gatherings to 10 and outdoor events to 25,

Making play dough is one of our favorite activities at Zion’s Hill Preschool Program … for children and teachers alike! But did you know that the original Play-Doh® was first made as a wallpaper cleaner in the 1930s? Upon learning that young children found modeling clay too difficult

From our parents

  • Our oldest son’s year in the 3’s program with Miss Louise and Miss Jenny was one of such growth and wonder, we couldn’t imagine finding a more nurturing environment anywhere. We can’t wait for our younger child to experience their special brand of fun and play-based learning next year when he moves up from the 2’s.

  • We found ZHPP during a time of need. We'd just moved to Wilton, and while our son's birthdate qualified him for kindergarten, he needed more time to build skills, confidence, and socialization. Enter ZHPP! We enrolled him in the 5's class and it was the best decision we could have made. Our son is now a thriving first grader. ZHPP is an amazing community, devoted to each and every child. We are so grateful!
    Suzanne S., Wilton
  • We have been lucky enough to send all three of our boys to preschool at Zion's Hill. Not only have they made lifelong friends, but ZHPP's play based curriculum gave them all the skills they needed to excel in kindergarten and beyond.

  • Words can't express how happy we have been with the Zion's Hill Preschool Program 5's class. Our youngest has a late fall birthday and we knew we wanted to give him that extra time before entering Kindergarten. Zion's Hill has been exactly what he needed.

    The class ratio of two full-time amazing teachers for 12 children allows each child to have individual attention.The teachers are able to fully embrace the play-based learning philosophy of ZHPP while at the same time really working with each child to help prepare him or her for Kindergarten - working on reading, writing, and math skills.

    He is gaining so much from the various learning centers, play time, community building, and opportunities for developing independence and responsibility that are critical to young children.Every day my son is excited to go to school and at least once a week he tells me that he has the best teachers in the world. This will be his last preschool experience and to have him this happy, growing and thriving academically and socially is all that a parent can ask for. He will remember his time at ZHPP fondly and it is a year that my husband and I will treasure for him.
