Welcome
Now enrolling for September, toddlers, four year-olds and Kindergarten. Camp enrollment opens to new families April 1st.
The Thorne School of Bryn Mawr College offers programs for Toddlers,
Preschool children, and Kindergarten children. This Main Line
institution, which was established in 1952 as a laboratory nursery
school at Bryn Mawr College, offers developmentally oriented,
child-centered programs. For preschoolers, Thorne offers a Toddler program, a Traditional Preschool program, and a Language Enrichment
Preschool program. The Thorne kindergarten, located at Haverford
College, has a Traditional Kindergarten program and a Language Enrichment Kindergarten program. Thorne also offers a variety of Early Intervention programs for children age 3 to 6, developed by Susan Chaplick.
At Thorne, children develop a sense of competence and
well-being within the group through play, problem-solving and social
interaction. Materials are organized within activity areas in a fashion
that invites active exploration, discovery and the development of
mastery. Through these activities, children learn to exercise control
over their environment and to develop their own strengths and creative
ideas.
