Our Philosophy

Silveira's educational philosophy makes the difference to our young students and their families!

• We combine order and guidance
  with fun, laughter and freedom of
  expression.

• We recognize and encourage
  each child's individuality.

• Our students are provided the
  opportunity to develop at their   own speed and achieve their
  highest potential.

Field Trips

Field trips are one of many learn-
ing experiences we endorse. The children participate in field trips to many interesting and educational places, including local beaches,
farms, Middletown Fire Depart-
ment, Norman Bird Sanctuary, the public library, and the local planetarium.
 

 
On-premise field trips include exploring our 20 acres of open land to observe nature first hand. The children especially enjoy the school's own Science Center located on Silveira property.
 

Looking for a program that is fun and teaches the basics yet also teaches children to be problem-solvers and forever learners? This is it!

Our History

Gladys R. Silveira founded Silveira Kindergarten and Nursery School and celebrated her first graduation in June 1957. "Fun With Learning," combined with a commitment to provide young children a secure, nurturing and structured environment, was her found-
ing principle.

In 1997, Theresa Silveira Spengler accepted a full-time Co-Directorship and joined her mother as a team teacher.
In 1999, Mrs. Spengler became Director and Owner of Silveira Kindergarten and Nursery School.

Our Curriculum

Our curriculum is based on the Rhode Island Early Learning Standard and is approved by the RI Department of Education. In addition, to reading, science, and mathematics readiness skills, Silveira's curriculum includes art, music, social and emotional development, gross and fine motor skills, and physical health. We round out the curriculum with indoor and outdoor free and structured play.

Our Dedicated, Caring Staff

Our dedicated staff and their professional and personal commitment to our students, is the key to our success. All of the Silveira staff are trained and uphold the highest standards in education, respect, and the love of children. Our diverse staff is highly skilled in understanding the needs of children and how to have
"Fun With Learning."

Open Door Policy

We have an open door policy. Since 1957, we welcome and encourage parents to participate in their child's school experience. This philosophy fosters trust and communication, both
