Kindergarten

The kindergarten program presents academic, social, emotional, and physical education in a developmental process, allowing each child the freedom to progress in a non-competitive, learner-centered environment. We emphasize the importance of the natural world through frequent outdoor experiences that are enhanced through the use of all senses, time for quiet reflection, and journaling.



We strive to nurture curiosity, creativity, and positive social relationships while working on fundamental academic skills. Social development is centered on respect; at the beginning of the school year the children design a collection of guidelines called "community agreements" which they are responsible for adhering to throughout the school year.

Art and music are integral parts of kindergarten. We incorporate outside resources and parent talents to enhance the learning environment when possible. Skiing and swimming are a regular part of the program.
