Playgroups are mixed-age which creates a “family learning” basis for learning, commonly known as the sibling effect; indeed siblings are warmly encouraged.
Meaningful, intentional teaching nourishes all domains of development: cognitive, social-emotional, and sensorimotor.
A simple curriculum, a direct outdoor experience with nature, music and group singing & nurturing and inviting tactile play create the perfect playgroup!
Little ones learn and are scaffolded to the next level of learning and skill-building through a high-quality creative curriculum, that is rich literacy practice, and a predictable rhythm. Through a gentle, play-based class, gross/fine motor skills, sensory integration, and social skills are nutured. The course of development unfolds easily within a natural and gentle structure.
