The "School
in a Farmhouse" was founded during World War II, to serve
the women who went to work in the defense plants of Rochester.
In 1967 Rita Barton left her career as hostess of the local
Romper Room TV program to buy and redesign the school according
to her vision. |

The
main building has been efficiently adapted to meet the needs
of children, while retaining a country ambiance. Each area has
windows with views, nooks and crannies, and comfortable, well-equipped
classrooms.
We're
especially proud of our Baby Bungalow, a separate building
that houses infants in a tranquil environment.
And, with over an acre of land, we have room for playground adventures,
visiting our many gardens, or simply taking a leisurely stroll. |

We
work to complement your family life by nurturing your child's
body, mind and spirit. By working together, we develop your
child into a successful "big school" student.
We've
seen the pendulum of education swing from one theory to another,
but have been around long enough to know what really works.
Our curriculum introduces new levels of learning based on
the emotional and cognitive readiness of each child. We also
respect the importance of free play and natural curiosity
as a basis for learning experiences. |
We're
proud of our center because it reflects our
joyful commitment to the citizens of tomorrow.
