The rich classroom environment is a place where children are challenged to learn while making friends, developing self confidence, and self direction. Changes to the learning environment activities and projects reflect the children’s emerging interests.
Daily language experiences support literacy and language development. Mathematical reasoning and scientific thought is emphasized throughout the centers.
The children use our private, outdoor backyard for gross motor activities and sensory activities. Outings to local parks and playgrounds and neighborhood walks occur often, weather permitting.
