A Pre-Kindy day
The day balances child-led play with intentional small-group experiences — art, music, stories, outdoor exploration and the garden. Meals and rest are built in, with space for the long, absorbed play this age does so well.
Meet the Room
A room set up for creativity and discovery, with natural outdoor play spaces and a garden the children help tend.
What to pack: a change of clothes, a water bottle and a wide-brimmed hat. Please label everything.

We grow early literacy through conversation, storytelling and creative expression — the building blocks of reading and writing, well before formal lessons.
