Healthy Development
For most of the day, children choose from a variety of materials and activities selected to promote healthy physical, mental, social and emotional development. Children are exposed to language and literacy every day through books and music in our literacy rich classroom. We practice reading, writing, counting, and other beginning academic skills when children are interested within play, routines, and group activities. Weather permitting, the children spend time outside every morning and afternoon enjoying activities such as riding, climbing, throwing and catching, balancing, swinging, digging, gardening, and chasing.

A Peaceful World
Preschoolers are very capable of learning self-help skills, being kind to others, and treating materials with respect. We teach and practice social skills, and we help children express and release feelings that prevent them from being cooperative and kind. We include anti-bias, conflict resolution, and ecology activities in our curriculum, and we strive to ensure our materials do not promote stereotypes.
