School History
Director Nai-Hwa Chen has been teaching Madison's youngest learners since 1994. What began as a family preschool grew into Shorewood Family Preschool — two home locations, eight children each, and years of refining how young children really learn language, music, and mathematics. In 2008, she purchased and remodeled the building at 6426 Normandy Lane and reopened as Einstein School, bringing more than three decades of academic and music teaching experience under one roof. The curriculum your child experiences today is the product of all of it.
Our philosophy
Children have natural learning abilities that can be enhanced through a well-organized curriculum, group and individual learning, along with hands-on play and activities.
Alumni Engagement and Success
Einstein School alumni can join our advanced weekend programs with American Chinese School for continued education in Math, Music, and select AP courses. Einstein alumni have gone on to excel across their K–12 years — winning regional math, music, and science competitions, performing strongly on their APs, SATs, and ACTs. Graduates have attended Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Yale, Princeton, and many other exceptional institutions.
Licensed and accountable
Einstein School is a licensed group child care center, supervised by the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families and operating continuously since 2008. Every teacher is background-checked at hiring and trained in first aid, SIDS prevention, and early-childhood coursework, with compliance verified through regular DCF licensing inspections. During school hours our doors stay locked; enrolled parents use a facial-recognition entry panel at drop-off and pickup, and every child is signed in and out, every day.
