Our Classrooms

Preschool classrooms are filled with fun, bright colors and challenging and exciting toys. The art room has children's projects posted on the walls and plenty of supplies for making more. Kids are encouraged to use as much messy glue and glitter as they want. In the creative play room we have a play kitchen, a workbench with saws and hammers (and safety equipment, of course!), lots of blocks, a dollhouse and a store. In our central room, we have a guinea pig who can visit with the kids as well as our sand table, bookshelf and manipulatives.

To really understand what the classroom is like, we encourage you to schedule a visit during class.

The table below gives examples of themes, projects and activities that we've used throughout the years. Teachers may add or modify the themes and projects according to the interests and curiosity of the children in the classrooms.
