who we are
We are a boutique program where your child is deeply known, supported, and engaged, yet they also gain a competitive edge through our specialized curriculum. By integrating daily instrument lessons and expansive nature exploration into the school day, we provide a premium private-school foundation that respects your family’s time and budget.
Here, children thrive as whole people, gaining the confidence, poise, and cognitive skills that stay with them long after they leave our halls.
At Artisan, we honor this stage of life with meaningful experiences that help children grow into capable, joyful, and independent learners. We believe children thrive when their days are filled with purpose, creativity, and connection. Here’s how Artisan goes beyond traditional childcare.
We follow the interests of the child, not a rigid checklist. At Artisan, learning comes through play, exploration, and meaningful real-world experiences. Whether building towers or observing insects, children are developing the social, emotional, and academic skills that matter most.
Music is a daily part of life at Artisan. Our music program begins right from infancy, with daily music and movement classes for infants and toddlers. Beginning around age three, children participate in small-group piano and violin lessons. These experiences build coordination, memory, emotional awareness, and confidence, all while giving children a joyful way to express themselves.
Our garden is a living classroom where children care for plants from seed to harvest. Alongside our gardener, they learn about soil, composting, pollinators, and where food comes from, gaining responsibility, patience, and a deep respect for nature along the way.
Artisan campuses don’t feel institutional. They feel warm, open, and calming. Our restored historic buildings sit on 2-5 acres of land, with light-filled interiors, natural materials, and quiet spaces for play and reflection. Every detail is chosen with children’s well-being in mind.
We're more than a school: we're a village. Through our Healthy Family Initiative, seasonal events, workshops, and gatherings, we help families connect and grow together. Many parents tell us Artisan feels like an extension of their home.
OUR PROGRAMS
Ages 6 weeks - 15 months
Our infant program is a warm, nurturing place where your baby feels safe and cherished. With small class sizes and consistent, loving caregivers, we provide attentive care that honors their unique pace. We introduce gentle routines, including sensory play, early sign language, and music, to foster a deep sense of connection, communication, and security from day one.
Ages 15 months - 2.9 years
Toddlers are natural explorers, and our program is designed to meet their boundless curiosity. In cozy, light-filled classrooms, they build independence through hands-on play, art, music, and outdoor adventures. We encourage self-expression, early social skills, and a love for trying new things, all guided by teachers who genuinely understand and celebrate the toddler journey.
2.9 years - 5 years old
At Artisan, early education is where imagination and confidence soar. Our curriculum is rich with hands-on experiences in literacy, math, and science, but always balanced with ample time for imaginative play and outdoor exploration. Daily music lessons, including small-group piano or violin, build skills and confidence, ensuring our preschoolers are not just ready for kindergarten, they are thoughtful, capable, and genuinely excited to learn.
My kids have been going to Artisan for 2 years now, and we will be sending our third there in just a few months. We absolutely love the staff and administration at Artisan. They are communicative, caring, nurturing and make my children smile and laugh each day! My kids are excited to get to “school” each day and come home with cute arts & crafts and stories to share. Each teacher my kids have had has been incredibly loving and supportive, even when speed bumps like potty training and outside service providers have come into play. I can’t speak highly enough about Artisan Woburn. I highly recommend taking a tour if you’re looking for quality childcare for your child(ren).

WHY MUSIC MATTERS
Music lights up every part of the brain, helping children improve memory, attention span, and problem-solving from an early age.
Learning music teaches children to slow down and really listen, which supports reading readiness, comprehension, and focus.
Through singing and rhythm, kids start
to recognize sounds and patterns in speech, laying the groundwork for language even before they’re fluent.

Playing instruments like the piano or violin helps refine hand-eye coordination and strengthens the small muscles needed for writing and self-care.
Group music time is about more than just learning to play an instrument or singing together: it helps kids practice taking turns, listening to others, and working as a team.
Our all-inclusive approach to premium education. While most centers charge extra for enrichment, we include specialized daily music lessons and nature programs in our standard tuition. This saves Woburn families the significant cost of external private lessons and the "time tax" of traveling to extra-curriculars on evenings and weekends.
The best way to experience the Artisan difference is to schedule a personal 1:1 tour, where you can see our "living classrooms" and music lessons in action. Click the "Schedule a Tour" button on our homepage to find a time that works for you.
Research shows that early instrument instruction (like our daily piano and violin groups) accelerates neural connections related to math, literacy, and spatial logic. By making music a daily habit rather than a weekly "special," we build the sustained concentration and executive functioning skills that help our students stand out in a primary school setting.
Not at all. We believe in an "unhurried" approach where rigor is delivered through joy. Because our setting is boutique and intimate, we can pace the curriculum to the individual child. This ensures they are academically challenged and gaining a "private-school foundation" without feeling the pressure of an institutional environment.
In the Woburn area, expansive natural space is a luxury. Our 2 to 5-acre campus allows for large-scale gross motor play and hands-on scientific discovery that simply isn't possible on a traditional playground. This connection to nature helps children develop physical poise and emotional regulation, ensuring they thrive as "whole people."
