GUIDED BY EXCEPTIONAL EDUCATORS, WE VALUE PLAY AS PURPOSEFUL AND CHERISH CHILDREN'S INNATE CURIOSITY. 0 0 2786992 202736 3217654 THERE ARE SO MANY WONDERFUL MOMENTS IN A CHILD'S EARLY DEVELOPMENT AND TO BEGIN THE CORNERSTONE OF A CHILD'S EDUCATIONAL LIFE AT THIS MOMENT ENRICHES OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY AS WELL AS OUR PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE. BEACON HILL NURSERY SCHOOL WAS FOUNDED IN 1955. OUR PRIMARY MISSION: TO NURTURE OUR STUDENTS' INNATE CURIOSITY AND LAY THE FOUNDATION FOR A LIFELONG LOVE OF LEARNING. WE BELIEVE THAT CHILDREN WHO DEVELOP STRONG SELFCONCEPTS AND SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL SKILLS ARE MOST SUCCESSFUL BOTH IN SCHOOL AND LATER IN LIFE.OUR TODDLER PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR TODDLERS TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME HIGH QUALITY EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES AS PRESCHOOLERS BUT ADDRESSING THE VERY SPECIFIC NEEDS, CHALLENGES, AND DELIGHTS OF THIS PARTICULAR AGE GROUP. CHILDREN MUST HAVE TURNED TWO YEARS OLD BY THE OPENING OF SCHOOL AND WILL ATTEND EITHER 2 OR 3 MORNING OR AFTERNOON SESSIONS EACH WEEK. OUR TODDLER TEACHERS HAVE DESIGNED A CLASSROOM, CURRICULUM, AND OUTDOOR SPACE THAT ADDRESS THE VERY SPECIFIC AND IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS OF A TWO-YEAR-OLD; THEY HAVE SPECIFIC TRAINING IN "TODDLERHOOD AND ATTEND NATIONAL TRAININGS AND CONFERENCES ON THE SUBJECT OF "TODDLING TWOS" THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. OUR YOUNGER NURSERY STUDENTS, AGES 2.9 TO 3.11, ENJOY HAVING A SPACE OF THEIR OWN WHERE THEY CAN EXPERIENCE THE JOY OF CREATING ART WORKS AND PLAYING WITH TACTILE AND SENSORY MATERIALS. THE CHILDREN'S SOCIAL SKILLS ALSO BLOOM AS THEY LEARN ABOUT SHARING, TAKING TURNS, AND THE VALUE OF COOPERATIVE PLAY. THEY DISCOVER THAT THEY ARE PART OF A LARGER WORLD, AND THAT THE REWARDS OF FRIENDSHIP ARE PLENTIFUL. OLDER NURSERY FOUR- AND FIVE-YEAR-OLDS ARE BECOMING SKILLED ORGANIZERS AND UNTIRING NEGOTIATORS WHO APPRECIATE FAIRNESS, REASON AND LOGIC. MUCH TIME IS SPENT EXPLORING THEIR WONDERFUL IDEAS AND MAKING SENSE OF THE WORLD AROUND THEM. THE CURRICULUM IS DESIGNED TO ALLOW CHILDREN TO EXPRESS THEIR INCREASING CONFIDENCE AND INDEPENDENCE, WHILE MEETING THE CHALLENGE OF THEIR NOISY CURIOSITY, ENERGY, AND ENDLESS ENTHUSIASM. THE JUNIOR KINDERGARTEN CURRICULUM IS DESIGNED TO KEEP PACE WITH CHILDREN'S COGNITIVE, SOCIAL, AND PHYSICAL SKILLS WHICH ARE DEVELOPING AT A TREMENDOUS RATE. THROUGH DAILY DISCUSSIONS AND INDEPTH STUDY, WE NURTURE AND STIMULATE THAT GROWTH, WHILE ENCOURAGING SELF-CONFIDENCE, ENTHUSIASM FOR LEARNING, AND A RESPECT FOR OTHERS. TOPICS OF INTEREST ARISE FROM CHILDREN'S INTERESTS AND INQUIRY, AND PROJECTS MAY LAST A WEEK, A MONTH, OR A SEASON. EACH WEEK JUNIOR KINDERGARTNERS WRITE THEIR OWN BOOKS, DEVELOPING A TANGIBLE APPRECIATION FOR THE POWER OF THE WRITTEN WORD. JUNIOR KINDERGARTNERS EXPLORE MATH MANIPULATIVES THROUGH INDEPENDENT AND GUIDED ACTIVITIES, AND IN SCIENCE THEY ARE ENCOURAGED TO MAKE GUESSES, TEST HYPOTHESES, EXPERIMENT, AND EXPLORE THEIR DETAILED PROJECT WORK.THEY ARE MENTORS TO THE YOUNGER CHILDREN, EVEN READING TO THEM. THIS DISTINCTIVE POSITION IS A SOURCE OF TREMENDOUS PRIDE AND A FOUNDATION FOR SELF-ASSURANCE THAT WILL ACCOMPANY THEM TO THEIR NEXT SCHOOL EXPERIENCE. 2786992 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 15 0 1 41 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 22 20 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MA X CHRISTINE MILLER 6172270822 74 JOY STREET BOSTON MA 02114 JANE VANCE DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 MIMI EGER DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL LAMPERT DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 MATT ROBBINS DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 MATT KIDD VICE-CHAIR 5.00 X X 0 0 0 MARIA CASELLA DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 KRISTI MAHONEY DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 KATE LAKIN CHAIR 5.00 X X 0 0 0 JOSH PLAVNER DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 JASON WASFY DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 HEIDI DOOLEY DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 SAMANTHA MCCOURT DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 ERIC SEITZ DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 DIVYA SRUNGARAM DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 DAN KARELITZ TREASURER 5.00 X X 0 0 0 CHRIS WHOLEY DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 CHRIS LIN DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 BEN CLAPP DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 BEN ALBERT DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 ANDY O'BRIEN DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 HEATHER SIGEL CLERK 5.00 X X 0 0 0 AARON NORRIS DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 DEBRA SULLIVAN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 250484 0 28907 CHRISTINE MILLER FINANCE DIRECTOR 26.00 X 83662 0 20604 334146 0 49511 1 0 1 0 0 145849 166237 289817 27913 601903 TUITION AND FEES 611600 3189828 3189828 3189828 261393 261393 108832 94342 14490 14490 14490 83173 145849 105015 -21842 -21842 MISCELLAENOUS REVENUE 900099 27826 27826 27826 4073598 3217654 0 254041 202736 202736 354466 65500 223466 65500 1788701 1591654 84790 112257 71087 54966 10225 5896 279628 216216 40219 23193 158546 125421 20878 12247 25489 25489 27878 27878 38537 30069 8383 85 2495 2495 23714 14974 8740 91837 78061 9184 4592 224753 193530 21728 9495 768 768 22557 22557 122164 103840 12216 6108 27289 23196 2729 1364 EDUCATIONAL SUPPLIES 52198 52198 BANK AND CREDIT CARD PR 42398 5636 29771 6991 MISCELLANEOUS 27253 2521 4918 19814 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMEN 17269 17269 22574 21684 890 3624337 2786992 561063 276282 2901136 3228847 39000 5500 15061 7155 45259 208166 3385337 1329975 2169385 2055362 5085331 5734578 18375 38770 10273547 11278378 217074 171228 1926514 2002020 721018 704787 2864606 2878035 X 6735329 7694110 673612 706233 7408941 8400343 10273547 11278378 449261 542141 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 4454907 9446 661619 111692 5014280 4181754 52172 439978 218997 4454907 4775833 -499477 94602 4181754 3973294 884542 82003 4775833 3354424 378116 312713 71959 3973294 0.11856 0.88144 0 0 1438012 53855 1384157 752272 356402 395870 251962 232629 19333 943091 687089 256002 2055362 X 4518018 542141 -97721 444420 4073598 0 4073598 3526616 105015 105015 3421601 202736 202736 3624337 PART X, LINE 2: THE SCHOOL ACCOUNTS FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASC TOPIC, INCOME TAXES.
