Rooms

• In the Art Room, we want children to feel free to explore all areas of the room during choice time. The staff will not do a child's project for them, children will create all art. Therefore, be prepared to see many beautiful and unique creations that your child will be proud of ! P.S. Never guess what the project is, say "tell me about your picture" you can't give a wrong answer that way! 
•  In the Science Room, we will be doing many different open-ended experiments. We want the children to begin a quest for knowledge at this very young age. We plan to keep this room a place that helps children to learn to problem solve. Tadpoles, moths, butterflies, birds and guinea pigs are some of the living science we will explore. Children learn from hands on experience. We will help children open the part of their mind that asks the question, "What if?"  
• In the Dramatic Play Room, children learn how to interact socially by using dramatic play as a testing ground. This is a very important learning area for children. Although the children may seem to be "just playing," they are actually acting out their emotions, making new friends, coping with feelings, figuring out family dynamics, and much more!
• In the Block and Building Room, children learn spatial relations and cause and effect while building with blocks. Block building is a great area for cooperative play, as children decide together how they will construct their structure.
• In the Large Motor Room, the floors are padded and many climbing, throwing, balancing, and movement toys are offered to help children learn about their bodies and spatial awareness. Children practice their large motor skills through games, obstacle courses, dancing, and free-play times.
