Pine Cobble School's Early Learning Center Enrolling 2 & 3-Year-Olds

Print Story | Email Story

The Early Learning Center at Pine Cobble School reflects the school's commitment to providing a curriculum-based early learning program where curiosity drives instruction and learning happens through exploration and discovery.

Beginning this fall, the program will welcome children into our 2-year-old classroom, creating new opportunities for families seeking a nurturing and engaging start to their child's educational journey.

The Early Learning Center combines the nurturing environment of an early childhood program with the resources of an independent school, offering young learners opportunities to build foundational academic, social, and emotional skills while experiencing the joy of discovery every day. Students learn with a team of dedicated teachers who are specialists in their fields, including early literacy and numeracy, Spanish, art, music, library, and movement and sports.

Set on Pine Cobble's beautiful 20-acre campus, The Early Learning Center embraces outdoor education as an essential part of the learning experience. Children regularly explore wooded trails, fields, gardens, and natural spaces, using the outdoors as an extension of the classroom. Through exploration and experiential learning, students develop curiosity, confidence, and a lasting connection to the natural world.

Families interested in learning more are invited to attend one on Pine Cobble's summer information sessions:


Wednesday, August 5 | 9:00–11:00 a.m. and 3:00–5:00 p.m.

Visitors will have the opportunity to tour the campus, meet teachers, and learn more about Pine Cobble's innovative approach to early childhood education.

Williamstown Board of Health Gets Update on 330 Cole Ave.

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Board of Health last Monday saw evidence supporting a tenant's complaint about ventilation issues at their 330 Cole Ave. residence.
 
Health Inspector Ruth Russell shared with the board a three-page memo outlining her department's actions since receiving a complaint from the occupant of Unit D6 at the property managed by Pittsfield's Hearthway Inc.
 
The memo outlined seven inspections that Health Inspector Ruth Russell has conducted at the unit since the complaint was received on March 10 of this year. On March 20, after her initial inspection, Russell cited five violations of the state sanitary code related to moisture in the unity.
 
Her Monday report also included photos taken during the most recent inspection of the unit's bathroom ventilation system on Aug. 3.
 
As recently as July 21, Hearthway's director of real estate development told Russell, "The fans in this unit have been checked multiple times by staff and contractors and found to be operating the same as in all other apartments," according to the Aug. 17 memo.
 
On July 24, Russell inspected the unit with a representative from the Berkshire Public Health Alliance after the occupant reported that the shower was used several hours before and, despite having the window open and the ventilator fan running, moisture was still present.
 
"Use of a vane anemometer in the bathroom demonstrated that there is insufficient flow going through the vent," Russell reported.
