Preschool in the QRSD

The Quabbin Regional School District offers integrated preschool programs at each of our elementary schools: Hardwick, Hubbardston, New Braintree (for New Braintree/Oakham students) and Ruggles Lane!

Our preschool offers an integrated preschool opportunity where students of all abilities are able to learn and grow together.  Our preschool program is a tuition free, space limited program offered to students who reside in the five district towns of Barre, Hardwick, Hubbardston, New Braintree, and Oakham.  

The preschool program follows the Quabbin academic calendar.  Students must be 3 to 5 years old at the beginning of the program and may remain in the program through age 5.  If your child does not meet the age eligibility requirement for kindergarten, they are eligible for preschool.  Transportation is the responsibility of the family.

Our preschools will each have 2 sessions.  The morning program is in session from 9:00 – 11:30 a.m. and the afternoon program is in session from 12:30 – 3:00 p.m.  During this time, children will have opportunities to develop their language, social, emotional, physical, and academic skills.

Registration is now open and is ongoing throughout the year.  For more information and registration paperwork, please click HERE.
