Daily Schedule

For both the full-time and part-time programs, your child’s day will be filled with rich and meaningful explorations of the natural world around them.  Through our eclectic style of teaching and learning, we use the interests of the children and teachers to guide the development of our curriculum – using the provocations and questions provided by the children as well as the natural world to guide our investigations.  It is through this play-based and emerging curriculum that we feel your child’s emotional, social, cognitive, creative, and physical development can blossom.
