Our Program
Our school is run by an experienced and dedicated staff and is accredited by the NAEYC. The school is operated by the parents with the assistance of one salaried director and one salaried teacher. They have extensive training in Early Childhood Education and regularly participate in continuing education.
Our program is semi-structured, including a blend of free choice and teacher directed activities. We are committed to the philosophy that children's learning occurs in the process of their experiences, including their interactions with the teacher, other children, parents, and the materials and equipment at school. To provide children with enriched experiences our program includes:
- Arts and Crafts
- Music and Movement
- Cooking Experiences
- Language and Social Development
- Small Learning Groups
- Large and Small Motor Development
- Science and Nature Study
- Reading and literacy related projects
- Materials promoting self awareness, self esteem, and appreciation of the world and those around us.
We are fortunate to have a nursery to watch younger siblings of students so parents can take advantage of the cooperative experience. Our nursery staff is the best!
Our program in music is taught by a professional music instructor, programs in science taught by a retired science professional/teacher.
