The Windsong early childhood classroom is a home-like, secure, and loving place that recognizes the young child’s need for predictable rhythm throughout the day, season, and school year. This is a multi-year program, welcoming younger children’s first venture into “school” and preparing veteran children for first grade. The program gently nurtures the development of curiosity, verbal capacities, sequencing, sensory integration, memory, social skills, and motor skills required for later learning and are the foundation for future school work. This is achieved in a supportive atmosphere free from formal academics.
There is a delicate balance between teacher-led group activities, individual attention, and free play. We provide children with the necessary free play time to practice, developing the social-emotional, problem-solving, and motor skills that will serve as a scaffold for life-long learning and health. An atmosphere of warmth and calm holds the children throughout the day in this natural, gentle, and wholesome environment giving children a range of activities and the structure to help prepare them for first grade.
