How our day works
Across the preschool room the children move through rotating group-time sessions — communications and problem solving, healthy bodies and move & groove, our world and art & craft — balanced with child-driven free play. Rotating around our spaces keeps energy and interest levels up and lets each child build a relationship with every educator.
Our daily routine stays open to spontaneous change, in keeping with the children’s energy and interest levels, the weather, and the celebrations that matter to our families.
