EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAM

Nature's rhythms and the celebration of seasonal festivals provide the framework for the flow of activities in the Early Childhood program. In a loving environment, the teacher and children engage in practical and artistic activities. The child has many opportunities to develop his or her senses, imagination, and imitative powers through activities such as painting, drawing, beeswax modeling, baking, gardening, outdoor exploration and free-choice play. Our program also emphasizes stories, songs, puppetry and circle games that mirror the yearly cycle. Carefully chosen playthings made of natural materials inspire great inner activity for the child's creative play.
