Learning space

Every year, each student has their own labeled cubby for coat hanging, shoes, backpack, spare clothing, and other personal belongings. This area is along side the community play room, the largest part of the school building. This space is utilized for large group activities such as music, movement, art, and dramatic play. There are large tables, chairs, drawing boards, many learning equipment, and a library for quiet independent reading, class read-out-louds, circle time, show and tell, and other group lessons. The schoolhouse also has three individual classrooms based on age groups, for more focused group studies, projects, and play.

We have a large recreational field with a playground, basketball court, sandbox playhouse, fruit and vegetable garden during the Spring, and many different types of beginner bikes and play cars. Students spend a lot of time outside rain or shine, participating in team games, creative outdoor activities, or self-facilitated group play.
