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

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.

Reminder to Lanesborough, Williamstown Voters: Mount Greylock School Committee a 'Write-In' Election

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Politicians and pundits in recent years have been preaching patience when it comes to getting election night results.

 

That usually means places like California, where vote-counting can be complicated or Michigan, where razor thin margins are anticipated.

 

Add Williamstown and Lanesborough to that list.

 

It is not a matter of pre-election polling suggesting particularly tight races; there is no such polling. Rather, it is a question of how voters will be making their selections in the race for the Mount Greylock Regional School District Committee.

 

None of the six candidates who qualified for four seats up for grabs on the panel appear on the ballots that have been mailed out, used in early voting or will be distributed at the polls on Nov. 3.

 

That means that all votes will be cast as write-ins, and that means it will take significantly longer for election workers to tally up votes in the local election once the polls close at 8 p.m. at Lanesborough Town Hall and Williamstown Elementary School.

 

As always, voters in both towns vote for all four seats on the ballot: two seats for Lanesborough residents and two for Williamstown residents in this year’s balloting.
