Class Overview

Each class has its own rhythm and structure.  However, an example of a typical day might be:
Your children arrive to find activities set up in the classrooms. Teachers and parents supervise and initiate play, inside the classrooms and outside in our yard until “circle time,” when the children may sing songs, dance, listen to stories, or play instruments. 


Depending  upon class size and student ages, two or three teachers and two or three working parents are on hand to help. After Circle Time the  children break for a snack. We serve food “family style” and encourage  the children to try everything available, but ultimately let them  choose. Snack time allows the children to practice and develop table  manners, oral language skills through table conversation and good eating  habits. Teachers and parents read stories and initiate games to  practice colors/shapes, following directions, counting and more. 


In  the Pre-K and Three-year-old Classes, small group time follows snack time. Teachers  plan small group activities that are developmentally appropriate to further the  development of each child’s cognitive, small motor, social/emotional skills, letter recognition, counting, visual memory, and more. We  arrange snack groups and change them periodically. This allows our  children to experience the unique gifts of each teacher in a smaller  group setting.  


Play resumes after snack until the closing circle time wraps up the day with singing, reading, and goodbyes. In the Pre-K and Three-year-old Classes, children have science, cooking, zoo phonics, art exploration,  library time, and visitors during a scheduled Exploration Time.
