Morning Garden

Morning Garden is for two to four-year-olds who are ready to explore and socialize independently of their parents in a safe and homelike atmosphere. The Morning Garden program meets from 8:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. (extended care is also available). Two, Three and Five-Day programs are available. This program is often chosen to be a child's first experience away from home.

The young child is nourished in an environment which provides developmentally appropriate experiential and sensorial opportunities through creative play indoors and outdoors. Movement and music, stories and puppetry stimulate the senses and encourage healthy physical development. Children also have the opportunity to participate in snack preparation and artistic activities. Playthings are carefully chosen in order to allow for imaginative play and special care is given to selection of healthy, nutritious, whole-foods snacks.

Teachers and children participate in such activities as:

• Creative Free Play


• Watercolor Painting


• Storytelling


• Puppet Shows


• Singing


• Outdoor Play


• Breadbaking and healthy snack preparation

Requirements

Children must be potty-trained (although we are prepared for the occasional accident). Enrollment is for the year.
