Early
Childhood

Forsyth’s Eyas Program for ages 2–3 is designed to spark young students’ curiosity and cultivate a love of learning. Eyas prepares children (age 2 before 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, as well as dedicated time with many of Forsyth’s specialist teachers.

Adjacent to The Falcon’s Nest is Fillmore House, home to Pre-Kindergarten (age 3 before August 1) and Junior-Kindergarten (age 4 before August 1), led by an exceptional group of teachers committed 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. Eyas, Pre-Kindergarten, and Junior-Kindergarten classes regularly walk across campus to visit the Hickey Library and Rand Center gymnasium, spend time with their “Big Friends” in Grades 2, 5, and 6, and attend some assemblies, plays, and academic events.

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