Young children learn well in an environment that allows them the freedom to follow their own curiosity, and at the pace that suits them best.  Play fosters imagination, self-regulation, cooperation, and develops the executive functioning that is so crucial for future learning in the classroom and beyond.  When children play freely, they develop a healthy self-esteem in their abilities, gained through their own initiative, hard work and willingness to take a risk.

Children learn best how to play and socialize from their peers, and from the age of three, they have the capacity to play imaginatively -- alone and with other children.  Little ones look to the older children as models, and older children get to shine in their mastery of the skills the little ones emulate.  

Parents are invited to help us with communication, and organization of parent meetings and other events.  We will also need help when we move indoors in the coldest months of the year to craft toys and supplies for the classroom.  More on this to come...

Each program is run a bit differently, but each has a "breathing" flow and dependable routine, or rhythm.  The day begins with a circle to greet each other and welcome the day, then there is time for exploration and play, followed by a snack.  After resting, we gather again for circle time: moving, singing, and listening to a story.  And then we  return to our "work" -- exploring, building, playing -- before a final circle to say goodbye to our friends, until next time!
