Activity Areas:
Activity areas are "open" during free choice time and when a teacher designates a specific small group activity.
Each area is coordinated with the current monthly theme to enhance a new topic. Children explore the areas which continually reward and rekindle their interest and enthusiasm for learning. Sometimes your child may discover an area alone. At other times, a teacher will be very involved with your child, stimulating conversation and asking open-ended questions. Most importantly, your child will learn new skills and develop talents while having fun!

Art Area:
By drawing, painting, cutting, gluing, and playdoughing, your child learns to creatively express emotions and ideas. He has fun exploring and experimenting with different textures and colors while taking pride in his accomplishments. He will develop his coordination and small muscles needed for emergent writing skills. He will have the opportunity to create both original artwork and pre-designed projects.
