The Gorse Child Study Program serves young children, ages 2.9 to 6, in a planned but flexible learning environment. We offer four half-day programs: three preschool groups (two in the morning and one in the afternoon) and an afternoon kindergarten. The class size is between twelve and sixteen children and classes operate from 8:45 a.m.-11:15 a.m. and 12:45 p.m.-3:15 p.m. We follow the academic calendar of Mount Holyoke College. The program is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.  Click here for more information about the Gorse Child Study Program.
