| The Classroom The classroom is a multifunction setting where playing and preschool are combined. When we are not doing preschool activities, our classroom features an extensive dramatic play area, lots of books to enjoy and a great selection of manipulative and exploratory toys. |
| The classroom supports learning by giving children the opportunity to choose their own methods of play and allowing them to share their ideas with other children freely. Each material available is selected based on educational opportunity, durability, and versatility of use. |
| The Living Room We relax, eat, learn, and play in the living room. This spacious room features soft furniture for reading and quiet time, a child sized table and chairs for meals and art activities and lots of room to stretch and explore. |
| The living room also includes a changing area and hand washing sink. The children's artwork is displayed where they can view it proudly and each child has a personalized hook and tote bag for storage. Next to the living room is an additional classroom space for small group learning. |
| Outside Learning continues outside. Our outdoor space has areas for large muscle development, dramatic play, and science exploration. There are three large chalkboards for exploring art and a deck area for playing when the snow is deep! Activities include looking for bugs, playing in the sandboxes, throwing and catching balls, gardening, and much more. In the coming Spring, we will continue to expand our discovery garden in front of the deck. We began exploration of vegetable gardening this year with planting and tending tomatoes and preparing the beds for additional crops next year. |
