Early Childhood
Imagine a preschool bursting with color where children bake, sing, paint and explore the wonders of nature in every season. Here begins an education steeped in wonder and imagination where learning and joy live as one and the same.
Children are encouraged to explore, imagine and create. They build social skills and confidence and develop capacities that become the foundation for future academic, social and personal success.
Our Early Childhood program offers a nurturing and warm environment where children find, as closely as possible, the best elements of care found within a family.

Story Time
A child's love of reading – and ability to concentrate – begins with being read to. Each day before lunch, children gather together to hear stories filled with wonder and imagination.

Music
Music becomes a soothing influence, often used for transitioning children from one activity to another. This fosters musical appreciation and participation, as children sing throughout the day.

Arts and Craft Activity
Wet-on-wet watercolor painting, beeswax modeling, crayon drawing, finger crocheting, simple sewing, and working with wool or wood lay the groundwork for artistic techniques useful in later years.

Snack Time
Eating together as a group with their teacher, expressing gratitude for the food and learning essential social skills – like sharing and table manners – supports healthy eating habits, digestion, and organ development.

Outdoor Exploration
Extensive outdoor experience – gardening, long walks, and traversing the larger campus and surrounding wilderness spaces – hones a child’s observation skills and breeds a deep, comfortable connection with nature.

Creative Play
Following their own initiative, the children imagine and play with a variety of natural materials and playthings. Or, they may help the teacher prepare the snack, sew, clean, or make toys.

Life arts
Participating in practical domestic activities (cooking, cleaning, repairing, and gardening) and self-care are a rewarding beginning of the organizational skills needed in adult life.
