Our educational program meets the needs of young children with a teacher/student ratio of 1:6. The curriculum includes art, music, dance/movement, science and nature, occasional field trips and pre-math and pre-reading activities, which allow children to learn at their own pace. We encourage children to be creative in a variety of ways with arts and crafts materials, problem solving activities and in dramatic play with friends.
Each session follows the same daily schedule:
CHOOSING TIME Children choose among various activities such as painting, manipulative toys, dramatic play, dress up and sand and water play.
GROUP TIME All children gather in a circle to participate in movement, singing, music, word games or discussions of special themes of study. Our circle times are short, action oriented and geared to the developmental level of the children. Thursdays and Fridays are Sharing Days, when children are encouraged to bring something special from home.
SNACK Each child brings a healthy snack and beverage in his or her own lunch box.
OUTDOOR PLAY We have our own private play yard, which includes a sandbox, climbing equipment and a custom play structure.
STORY/SONG TIME We end each day by coming together to read stories and sing.
