Our Space 
Our school is made up of indoor and outdoor play spaces that support our students growing,playing and learning. We are lucky to have an entire house for our school and a very large outside area.We spend the majority of our day outside regardless of the weather. We have a large covered outdoor space where much of our gross motor and messy art projects take place. We have a variety of sensory bins that rotate. We also have a large outdoor classroom with beautiful murals for chilly days.  We plant and harvest in our garden area as part of our seasonal units. We have an apple and fig tree that are beautiful places to play, as well as delicious additions to our nature studies. Our beloved school pet Bunny helps kiddos learn to care for an animal and brings such joy to us every day.We have a variety of mostly upcycled toys available to support imagination play as well as fuel scientific thinking with open ended building and problem solving. Art is integrated into our daily rhythm as well and art supplies are on hand and available for student use . Our indoor space is spacious and set up to support students safely exploring through play during our indoor playtime. We have beautiful murals for each of our large playrooms.Students can choose from more structured puzzles and games, to creative dramatic play with costumes.
