"Play is the work of the child." -M. Montessori
​
Our drop-off preschool program is designed for children ages 2.5–5 years who are fully potty trained. We understand that some children may be newly trained, and our teachers are always happy to lend a helping hand along the way!
​
For many children, preschool is their first experience in a structured setting with teachers and groups of peers. It’s an opportunity to learn important social and classroom skills such as sharing, following directions, building independence, and developing a foundation for lifelong learning.
​
At Little Buffalo Play School, children are immersed in developmentally appropriate activities that encourage learning through play, including sensory and imaginative play, early literacy and math experiences, gross motor movement activities, music, art, and peer socialization.
​
Classes meet Tuesdays/Thursdays or Wednesdays/Fridays during the school year from 9:00–11:30 AM. We follow the Buffalo Public Schools calendar for all holidays and school closings.
Come play, learn, and grow with us at Little Buffalo Play School!

"My daughter attends Little Buffalo’s Play School and it was the best decision we’ve made - she’s excited every time she gets to go to school. Miss Carrie is the most caring, compassionate and nurturing teacher you could hope for. My daughter has met great friends at Little Buffalo and has blossomed both socially and intellectually thanks to the wonderful environment, enriching activities and guidance she receives. You won’t regret sending your little one here!"

"Our daughter absolutely loves preschool at Little Buffalo! Every time we pick her up she has an adorable craft and a fun experience to share about. She has learned so much and made good friends. The teachers are so incredibly kind and creative! I love seeing how they come up with cool sensory activities, cute season-themed lessons, and they're always changing out the play scenes throughout the play area. Well worth it!"
