Detailed information on a typical day.

Our curriculum

Each week of school has a theme (i.e. seasons, children's authors, etc.). Art and music activities for the week are planned to coordinate with the theme. Detailed information on weekly themes.

Special Events

Occasional field trips are planned including activities such as visiting a pumpkin patch, attending a children's play, etc. In addition, we invite special guests that complement our weekly theme.

Communicating with Families

Because of our small, intimate atmosphere, teachers have the opportunity to share information informally every day.

We also have:

• Formal conferences in the fall and spring
• Monthly newsletter
• Open House in February
• Opportunities for parental involvement
