Sample Daily Lesson Plan
  Each day when your child arrives at school, he or she will have a chance to explore our outdoor classroom areas.  Our playground is set up to offer many different activities that help our children explore the theme for the week.   

    When we meet for Morning Meeting each class foes into their own outdoor classroom. At this time, we introduce the theme for the week.  Each theme last between one and two weeks. The theme is thoroughly discussed, and every child is given ample opportunity to manipulate, explore and create with materials within the planned environment. Teachers will guide and assist in the play and let your child learn at her own pace. During this time, your child's teacher will practice with letters, numbers, shapes, and colors. All lessons and activities are designed to meet the child at their specific level and areas of interest.
