Engaging Learning Centers
Our classrooms are divided into centers equipped with age-appropriate educational toys and materials that cater to children's interests. These centers include areas for books, blocks, sensory activities, art, puzzles, math, science, and dramatic play. Children can explore these centers individually, with a friend, or in small groups, practicing decision-making, following directions, working independently, and learning to care for and use materials.
Developmental Goals for 18 mo - 3 yo
Daily group times offer children the opportunity to learn in a large group setting through stories, music, gross motor exercises, language experiences, and discussions involving questioning and research. Additional activities include plant growing, nature interactions, and visits from guest speakers related to the unit studies. Through experiential and integrated play and projects, they develop language, science, and math skills.
