The Classroom


Ages

 

The Garden School is designed for children ages 3 to 6 years of age. As in a family, children learn in a single mixed-age preschool classroom.


Daily Rhythm

 

Children learn practical life skills such as setting the table, sweeping, and baking. Ample time for free play is provided both indoors and outdoors. We have a 2 hour benchmark for outdoor time, rain or shine. Outdoor time includes tending to our garden, chickens, and rabbits, as well as exploring in the community. Activities and materials that support all areas of development are available daily.


Meal Program

 

To promote health, morning snack and lunch are provided and prepared with help from the class. Our menu is primarily organic and we have a deep appreciation for the meal-time experience.
