BOUTWELL SCHOOL

Boutwell School is a public prekindergarten school that is part of the Groton-Dunstable school district, located in Groton, MA with about 63 students. With about 4 teachers, Boutwell School has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The Boutwell Early Childhood Center, located at 78 Hollis Street in Groton, Massachusetts, serves as a specialized educational facility within the Groton-Dunstable Regional School District. Dedicated exclusively to the district's youngest learners, the school focuses on providing a nurturing and developmentally appropriate environment for preschool-aged children. By concentrating on early childhood education, the school emphasizes foundational social-emotional growth, cognitive development, and the cultivation of essential early literacy and numeracy skills in preparation for their transition to elementary school.

The center is designed to foster an inclusive community, offering various programs that cater to diverse learning needs and styles. Through a curriculum rooted in play-based learning and guided instruction, Boutwell aims to build students' confidence and curiosity. Parents and caregivers interested in curriculum details, registration procedures, or district-specific programming can access further information through the official website at [www.gdrsd.org/BECC/](http://www.gdrsd.org/BECC/).
