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. Silveira provides field trips to many interest ing 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 wild flowers, streams, orchards, and gardens. 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!

Proven, Affordable Program

For 50 years, Silveira Kindergarten & Nursery School has provided a superior kindergarten experience, offering a proven program at affordable prices.

The "Fun With Learning" program is designed to encourage growth in the areas of physical, socio-emotional, and intellectual development.

Silveira Kindergarten and Nursery School offers 2, 3, 4, and 5 day programs to meet the needs of children beginning at age three. Flexible and extended hours are available for all age groups.

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 Mrs. Silveira as a team teacher.
In 1999, Mrs. Spengler became Director and Owner of Silveira Kindergarten and Nursery School.

Our Curriculum

The Department of Education, Early Childhood Division of the State of Rhode Island, annually reviews and approves the school's full curriculum. In addition
to reading and mathematics readiness skills, our curriculum includes art, music, creative dramatics, poetry, and field trips. Free and structured play,
both indoor and outdoor, round out the curriculum.

Our Dedicated, Caring Staff

Our dedicated staff members are com-
mitted to our students, which is the key to our success. All of the Silveira teachers are well-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
in school and their home.
