Curriculum
Each classroom offers a stimulating environment with experiences in language, arts, science exploration, math, music and movement, reading readiness, expressive art, dramatic play and small and large motor development. All lesson plans are posted weekly. The plans describe learning themes and key experiences that the children will be working on. Annual curriculum goals are established for each age group and distributed to parents at the beginning of the school year.
Learning experiences are always hands-on and child-centered. Children are provided with choices and are encouraged to facilitate their own learning experiences. Teachers are present to guide and direct children as needed.
