About the Provider

Description: We are a school-year program, based on the school calendar of the South Burlington School District. As a parent-teacher cooperative, we have provided a nurturing, creative and educational environment for hundreds of area preschoolers. Since 1970, our school has offered a caring place where a child can learn through play, develop good social skills and most importantly, build a positive self-image...The Children's School is a parent cooperative in every sense of the word. Our educational program is defined and supported by our parents. We offer parents a unique opportunity to play an active role in the education of their children...As teachers, we hope to create a preschool classroom based on play, nurturing care and respect for all children and all people. In this atmosphere, children are supported in their endeavors to pose questions, seek solutions, develop friendships and explore their creative abilities. The classroom provides a variety of opportunities for children to expand on their current knowledge through painting, drawing, writing, playing, listening to music, working with sand, building with blocks, reading and listening to stories, experiencing math and science, and recreating life experiences through dramatic play. Our classroom is designed to encourage participation, not only in self-directed small group activities (through the use of learning centers), but also through teacher-directed large group experiences, such as meeting time, music and circle games.
