Barnstable Early Education

Christine Serani and Anne Kullas are co-lead teachers at our West Barnstable Pre-School.  Christine begins her seventh year with us in the fall of 2010, while Anne begins her third.

Anne holds a dual major in elementary education and psychology from Bridgewater State where she graduated cum laude. Christine earned a Bachelor's in Education from Fitchburg State College, with graduate studies at Wheelock College.

The Conservatory’s pre-school program is benefitting from a major face lift. While remaining true to its traditional roots, the program includes a significant increase of Arts enrichment. Students will work with Ms. Nancy Pettibone, one of the Cape’s most popular children’s art teachers. They will also receive music instruction from the Conservatory’s music faculty including, for the older students, their first experiences in the Conservatory’s remarkable Digital Music Lab. In addition, the school’s academics are being further strengthened to exceed the new Kindergarten entrance standards.

We are now accepting enrollments for the fall of 2010. Please call to schedule a visit with your child: 508.362.2772.
