About the event
Interested in our Little Acorns Preschool Program? Come see our brand new barn classroom and meet the amazing teachers leading this exciting new program!
A preschool learning experience that incorporates Principles of Montessori, Sensory-Based Learning, and the outdoor Tinkergarten Curriculum.
This is a weekly drop off program for ages 2-4.
The program will be led by a certified teacher and a teaching assistant to guide a small class size of 10 children for the duration of 3 1/2 hours. Outdoor activities will take place in our toddler friendly sensory garden.
Key principles of Montessori include small group size, child-centered learning environment, and flexible curriculum which allows children to make discoveries on their own. The TinkerGarten curriculum supports these learning discoveries by learning through play.
Little Acorns Preschool will focus on creativity, critical thinking skills and problem solving. Physical fine motor and gross motor development will be embraced through natural outdoor play, process art and sensory based activities.
