Our Mission and Philosophy

THE TOLSTOY PRESCHOOL offers a bilingual curriculum designed for children ages 2.5 to 5 years, focusing on the holistic development of each child. Our program aims to nurture emotional, social, academic, physical, and cultural growth. In our ten years of existence, we have welcomed children from a variety of national backgrounds, including American, Russian, Ukrainian, Armenian, Georgian, Chinese, Iranian, Greek, Kazakh, Tatar, Finnish, and British families. Despite their diverse origins and home languages, our children are united through a shared journey—a bilingual curriculum that introduces them to new cultures, the arts, and an understanding of the world. As they prepare for school, children learn in a stress-free environment, developing through curiosity and play.

A Cozy and Supportive Learning Environment

Our small, family-style preschool creates a warm and secure environment away from home, enabling every child to learn at their own pace. At present, we work with two primary groups: children whose parents recognize the importance of a bilingual education from an early age, and families seeking a nurturing space where their children can flourish.

Who We Serve

We cater to parents who are looking for a safe, stable, and highly stimulating setting that promotes cognitive and intellectual development during this critical period in their child’s life.

Our Educational Approach

The Tolstoy Preschool places a strong emphasis on providing a well-rounded education, exposing children to the traditions of world art, music, and literature in age-appropriate ways. Our teachers encourage discovery and exploration, fostering a love of learning. Each day includes both structured and unstructured play, inside and outside the classroom, to support children’s growth and curiosity.
