We believe that when supported to make their own educated decisions, children will engage in experiences where learning is a natural product of fun. That’s why we allow the natural inquisitiveness of each child to chart their education.
PLAY THEIR WAY
Here is a sampling of activities children engage in throughout any given day:
- Drop-Off & Arrival: Children and parents greet teachers and each other and settle into the classroom.
- Morning Circle: Children share in a large group conversation and singing and dancing.
- Outside Time: Intentional time for gross motor activities, fresh air, and natural science explorations.
- Small Group: Developmentally focused projects and investigations.
- Free Choice: Mixed-age explorations in which children can choose activities and materials throughout the classroom.
- Lunch: Whole-class social time with focus on conversation and self-help skills.
- Literacy: Developmentally focused small group time for hands-on, play-based explorations of reading and writing.
- Pick-Up: Children say goodbye to teachers and each other and go home.
