Description: The purpose of the school is to provide a high-quality early education program for the families of the Mad River Valley, which fosters the cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and creative development of each child through meaningful relationships and rich experiences. Children are seen as competent and powerful. The teachers at Spring Hill School embrace "the rights of children" as expressed by the Reggio Emilia approach. Children learn about their world by participating in in-depth projects. Teachers share a sense of wonderment and discovery with the children as they explore theories and questions in a meaningful and dynamic context. Children learn through play. The curriculum emerges according to the interests and the needs of the children and/or teachers. Children develop pre-kindergarten literacy, math, cognitive and social and emotional skills through rich collaborative experiences within the framework of meaningful projects. Caring, respect, and sensitivity for oneself and others is modeled and nurtured. Children are seen as connected to each other, their families and their teachers. Indvidual differences and similarities are discussed and celebrated. The classroom environment is regarded as the third teacher. It is designed to be rich and inviting, comfortable and safe, aesthetically pleasing and stimulating. It is set up in ways that encourage small groups of children to play together. The outdoor environment serves as an extended classroom. All of these elements come together to create a positive school experience where children are learning the pleasure of learning, thereby creating a strong foundation to be life-long learners. An ongoing dialogue is maintained with parents, who are respected as the child's foremost teachers. Curriculum includes art or craft activities, circle time, daily outside play, dramatic play, regular daily routines, part day preschool program, private school, sand and water play, songs or music activities, story time and literacy activities.
