RAINBOW CLASS:

The school year begins with a gentle transition from homelife. One of our goals is to help each child feel safe and comfortable being with someone outside of their family, possibly for the first time. As a child becomes more comfortable in the environment we work on group play, taking turns, personal space, and expressing feelings. When you enter the classroom, you will find an active fun-filled environment where curiosity is evident and ongoing. Our teachers have outlined a daily routine in which theme-based learning is being done. New ideas and concepts are being presented in fun and playful ways where children become engaged while learning at the same time. Goals for your child at this stage will be to build on their developmental skills.
