Additional information

The morning begins with an extended period of free play that includes opportunities for children to explore independently or work in small groups. Activities include water or sand play, dramatic play, outdoor play, art/science projects, music lessons, yoga/mindfulness, manipulatives, and large blocks. As the morning progresses, the children have a whole-group meeting, snack, and story time. Children spend time outside every morning, weather-permitting in our fully equipped, fenced-in playground.
