Nature
Our year round conversation about animals, life processes and seasons is an ongoing exploration.
Socio Emotional
Children’s emotions are allowed to be experienced and expressed in words or art, growing
resilience and helping management of behavior.
Creating Community
Process oriented group projects and events such as a celebration with handmade decorations and songs teach the children to work together as a team
Art
Art materials and easels are always available for creative, imaginative and messy play. Open-ended projects allow the children to follow their natural artistic instincts.
Music
Music is heard when teachers sing during transition from one activity to the other or when the children play with our instrument box.
literacy
Our cozy book corner provides a quiet space for reading and one-on-one time with a teacher.
Play is the highest form of research

We have a variety of manipulates that help develop motor and cognitive skills. The block area encourages constructive play, as well as math and scientific ideas
pretend play
The dress-up area is well-stocked with capes, skirts, hats and shoes where children love to explore adult roles and emotional themes
Outside Play
Our children go on multiple community walks around the neighborhood, visit the park and have an outdoor area where they can play and explore!
