Early
Childhood

Forsyth’s Eyas Program for ages 2–3 is designed to spark curiosity and cultivate a love for learning and school. Eyas prepares children (age 2 by July 1) for academic and social-emotional growth in the pre-primary grades and beyond.

Eyas is housed in a dedicated program space located in the heart of Forsyth’s campus, with direct access to the Fillmore Playground. Nicknamed the “Falcon’s Nest,” the stand-alone building was fully renovated before the program’s launch in 2020. Children in Eyas experience math, language, literacy, art, music, and science concepts through “purposeful play” under the guidance of creative and compassionate educators.

Adjacent to the Falcon’s Nest is Fillmore House, home to Pre-Kindergarten (age 3 by August 1) and Junior-Kindergarten (age 4 by August 1), led by an exceptional group of teachers dedicated to early childhood education.

The Falcon’s Nest and Fillmore House are set slightly apart from the rest of campus, with their own playgrounds and gardens—but Forsyth’s youngest students learn very early on that they are an important part of the larger school community. Pre-Kindergarten and Junior-Kindergarten regularly walk across campus to visit the Hickey Library and Rand Center Gymnasium, spend time with their “Big Friends” in Grades 5 and 6, and attend assemblies, plays, and academic events. Students in Eyas take weekly on-campus “field trips” to destinations including the Hickey Library, Big Backyard, and Falcon Falls.

Eyas follows Forsyth’s school year calendar; children are eligible to attend Forsyth Summer Discovery beginning at age 3.
