There are many questions that are asked during an interview with a parent, but the one question that often is asked is: So, are you a play based environment or do you run a preschool?
The truth is we are both. A child learns the most through hands on, play-based life experiences. We learn by doing. I make plans each month about what I would love for them to learn but I do it through art, music, literature and play.
Our summer months were very relaxed but through field trips, literature, music and art we were able to reflect on the life cycle of a silk worm, our solar system, caring for our pets, reviewing our colors, shapes, numbers and so much more.
So yes, we are both, a play-based environment and a preschool environment all rolled into one place, a Home Away From Home!
You're so right...it's not either-or. Thanks for offering a great environment for children.
