The Homestead offers a balanced program that incorporates child-centered exploration with teacher directed guidance to make new experiences and concepts availabile to the children. Our gently structured day provides security for the children in its consistent rhythm, alternating between larger energy activities and smaller energy activities. Our classrooms are thoughtfully decorated and stocked with open-ended, mostly natural materials. The amount of materials promotes the sharing of materials and easy accessibility to a variety of play choices. We incorporate academic, social, emotional, physical skills and character development into our monthly themed curriculum.
