School Set Curriculum

   

Most experts will agree that children, especially young children, learn better through play than through highly structured academic activities. We embrace this concept and provide a wide range of hands-on activities that encourage children to experiment with science, math, language, music, and art. Blocks, easel painting, toys, dress-ups, puzzles, math manipulatives, sand and water play, games, and role-play are available to the children during class time.

Our classes contain three basic educational components, each of which are designed to aid in specific developmental areas. During the course of each class, the children will have the opportunity to participate in free choice activities, small group encounters, and whole group teacher-directed experiences. Free choice activities allow for personal interests and self-expression, small group encounters are designed to enhance social skills and provide individual attention, and whole group experiences are intended to develop listening skills and the ability to follow directions, as well as allow practice being part of a large group.
