About PIFS:

PIFS is an independent, co-educational preschool for toddlers through Pre-K.  At Putnam Indian Field School, our students enter into an environment in which discoveries take place. We believe that children learn best when they are actively involved in play, engaged in activities that intrigue them and that lead them to make choices, explore, experiment, investigate, discover, and create. Teachers follow children’s interests and introduce skills in the context of those topics and ideas so that each child’s early school experience is a joyful, exciting adventure. At PIFS, children learn to function effectively and comfortably both independently and in group situations, and grow in confidence, independence, and responsibility. Sound social and emotional development is our primary goal for our young learners; encouraging this growth is the guiding force in all we do.

Putnam Indian Field School believes that we all benefit from being a part of a diverse community.  The School does not discriminate based on race, color, religion, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnic or national origin, or family composition in its educational policies, hiring and admissions practices, or in any other school-administered programs.
