What to Expect:
NEW for Fall 2026, we are introducing some INTENTIONAL Literacy, Math, and Creative arts/Science into this particular program. Mixed with long stretches of child-led play, will be purposeful programming to help further their understanding in areas such as language, writing, reading, number sense, sorting, measurement, storytelling, counting, scientific process, creative expression, and all with as much hands on as possible. It will look like 2-3 30 min stretches of the day with Mentor facilitated learning stations.
Alongside this intentional introduction of concepts will be long stretches of purposeful play which follows our beliefs that play should be:
Freely chosen and self-directed
Where the process is more important than the product
Where adults do not dictate or structure the outcome of the play
Intrinsically motivated by the children involved
