INTRODUCTION TO SCHOOL: AGES 2.5 TO 3 YEARS OLD
A mix of guided activities with plenty of free discovery gently introduces the concept of structure.
Intro to School is designed as a gentle introduction into school, and we like to keep this program very simple for our youngest friends!
Children practice sitting together at circle, communicating with each other and teachers, and participating in Montessori works both individually and within a group setting. Verbal and social skills are developing through play, song, and exploration.
At River School, the “specials” such as yoga, baking, art, and field trips, along with certain celebrations, are primarily introduced to our older classrooms. These activities are designed to align with the developmental readiness of our students. This thoughtful approach ensures that each child can fully engage and benefit from these activities at the right time in their learning journey.
PRESCHOOL: AGES 2.5 TO 3 YEARS OLD
Through interactive lessons, Montessori works and free play, children get a bit of everything.
The opportunity to engage in practical life skills allows children to develop their use of concentration and confidence. Yoga, art with the amazing Kat Gillies of Bread & Roses Art Collective, bake days, and music are also integrated into the program to balance the child’s mind, body, and spirit.
We hold a license in childcare and therefore comply with state safety regulations.
Please note that we have been a nut-free facility in the past, but this is subject to change from year to year depending on our current students and allergies in the classroom.
