Our preschool program invites the child to a prepared environment where he/she is free to explore and learn without interruption. The environment is beautiful and organized drawing the child to areas of interest and meeting the child’s developmental needs. This structured environment gives the child concrete experiences where visual impressions are stored for later learning. Links to nature are seen throughout the classroom with the use of natural materials such as wood shelving and wood tables and plants. We bring in as much from the outdoors as possible. Children are responsible to take care of their classroom and are accountable to each other promoting social awareness and independence. Learning is never forced and comes naturally through the materials that the child is drawn to work with. Our primary goal for the child is that he/she reaches full potential and independence.
