Environment

Environment is considered the “third teacher.” Teachers carefully organize space for small and large group projects and small intimate spaces for one, two or three children. Documentation of work, plants, and collections that children have made from former outings are displayed both at the children’s and adult eye level. Common space available to all children in the school includes play areas and work tables for children from different classrooms to come together.

Lessons will have aspects of story and art, movement, and service as part of the regular rhythm of each monthly focus area. We will also work to build a resource library that can be useful to families seeking support for a wide range of social-emotional needs.
