Description: Children spend a great deal of time outside on our expansive playground and in our forest spaces. We have a dedicated music and arts teacher who visits each classroom throughout the week. Circle time, sensory activities, free play, and seasonal themes are explored in the classroom. Children have a morning snack, lunch, and an afternoon snack. All children are given the opportunity to rest in the afternoon and children who take a short rest are invited outside for calm exploration. The Neighborhood Schoolhouse is primarily informed by the RIE approach, Vygotsky, Progressive Education, Restorative Practices, and Gentle/Respectful communication. We offer programs for children ages 6 weeks through 5 years. The Neighborhood Schoolhouse preschool is a creative, playful, emotionally responsive program. Children are encouraged to explore their ideas about the world through play. Story-telling, cooking and art projects, dance and exploring the natural world are important parts of our curriculum. Our daily routine includes circle time, art or craft activities, dramatic play, sand and water play, songs or music activities, story time and literacy activities. The school has a big outdoor nature based component.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
