Greenhouse

Seedlings, 2’s-mid 2’s & / Sprouts, older 2’s-young 3

The Greenhouse class hosts two unique programs on alternating days. Children in either Greenhouse class do not need to be potty trained. The Greenhouse Classroom has an attached patio for all of the sensory fun!

Our Seedlings class is offered 2 days a week for young 2’s to mid 2’s. The Seedlings class focuses on the early development of social-emotional and cognitive growth. The play-based, emergent curriculum is practiced with a focus on language, sensory and gross motor skills, and introduction to a class routine. Natural scaffolding throughout the year aids in learning routines and community roles. The primary focus of the Seedlings class is to ensure that children and their caregivers are developing strong peer and community relationships in their first school experience.

Our Sprouts class is offered 3 days a week for older 2’s and younger 3’s. The emphasis will remain on social emotional learning, however this environment begins to develop a more formalized approach to concepts introduced in the Seedlings class. This 3 day program offers a more prominent emergent curriculum where the children lead their learning experiences with their interests. This can be seen through small groups, provocations set up daily for exploration, and community time. The invitation to participate in these small group explorations assists in developing self-regulation, fine motor skills, critical thinking and exploration. A greater emphasis on routines such as bathroom time, clean up, community time, and collaboration can be seen in the Sprouts class .
