    Early Childhood Preschool | Prekindergarten | Kindergarten Forward-focused preparation for the real world through the development of character and intellect 1 character I like Hawken School because it’s a happy place, and the teachers and kids are all nice. All the teachers and kids respect one another. Kindergarten Student 2 “The main purpose for which the school exists is the development of character.” James A. Hawken, Founder At Hawken, we not only teach children to be great students, we encourage them to be great people. Our Early Childhood program allows students to experience the joys of childhood while developing the foundational knowledge and habits of mind to support lifelong learning. We believe that laying the groundwork for your child to live a happy, meaningful life requires not just mastery of skills but character traits like curiosity, honesty, initiative, and resilience. That’s why our century-old motto of “Fair Play” permeates all that we do. It helps guide the thinking, speaking, and actions of every member of our community and creates responsible, empathetic citizens. “Instilling in students the skills they need to become successful adults is a top priority at Hawken. But we believe that who students become is just as important as what they become. We intentionally create our innovative programming and our community culture of inclusiveness in ways that inspire our students to go out and be good people who do good things in the world.” D. Scott Looney, Head of School To meet our Head of School, visit hawken.edu/HeadofSchool 3 academics “Help the child to feel, to see and to hear; to wonder, admire and revere; to believe, hope and love.” James A.
