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!

Library Area:
Language skills are developed through exposure to children's literature. A love of books starts early and lays the foundation for emergent literacy skills. Teachers encourage her to "read" the pictures, make predictions, and repeat phrases. Your child will learn to share, follow directions, and lengthen her attention span. She will also begin to recognize the connection between spoken language and the written word.
