Guided by our knowledge of the developmental stages of each age group, their abilities, interests, and needs, we provide the materials and support that extend the children's own exploration and discovery. The children engage in a variety of activities, including art, music, cooking, science, mathematics, dramatic play, block building, large motor play and language activities. Weekly visits from a music and movement specialist enrich our curriculum. Mobile nature programs come to the school. Our day also includes a meeting time when the children come together for a story, song and group activity.
Snack time is preceded by a moment of silent reflection.
In all but the worst weather, we play outside, which has a new playground installed in 2000, and a blacktop for riding tricycles and scooters. The Program for Twos The Twos share many of the activity centers of a preschool. Twos need to feel as if their environment is responsive and predictable. Twos like to feel strong and in control of as much of their environment as practical. They need the kind of structure that alternates quiet and active play, regulates the level of stimulation they are receiving and responds quickly and with a minimum of fuss to their frustration and fears.
