I truly believe that the first five years are vital to a child's learning experience through out life. I believe that children learn through hands on experience, we offer a structured environment with child directed learning. I stress independence with children, helping to achieve and celebrate success. We follow a relaxed daily schedule so the children always know what comes next and will feel secure in their environment. I believe in allowing time for deep play experiences and will not interrupt children for group activities or circle time if they are actively engaged.
While we are open year round M-F from 7a-5p, preschool runs M-Th, September-May; June, July and August the children enjoy days filled with water play and other outdoor activities such as gardening, water and art activities.
Friday is reserved for free choice allowing time for deep play experiences.
