Collective Play Ground
Classes for caregivers and their little ones to learn + play together
From Montessori Loose Parts to Music Spanish Immersion to an Intro to School Program, check out our classes below
All classes are designed to serve the needs of all learners. Our teachers are prepared to welcome children with special needs receiving any and all services including speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and special education supports.
As a Montessori program, an underlying focus of our Collective Play Ground program is respect for self; space and materials; and community. Children develop a work cycle practice and each class supports different Montessori curricular areas:
Peace Curriculum, ex: Emotional Intelligence; Anti-Bias
Cultural Curriculum, ex. Nature; Music; Language
Practical Life Curriculum, ex. Care of Environment; Control of Movement
Sensorial Curriculum, ex. Refining the Senses
Literacy Curriculum, ex. Oral + Auditory work

Social Emotional Play Group - PAUSED
Through dramatic play children will explore their understanding of the world around them, how they relate to it, and how they express themselves. In group play they will practice communication and collaboration with peers. All play will be supported by a teacher and the social/emotional learning guided by their observations of the individual students.

Open-ended materials will be available for children 8mos+ with specific play kits for our youngest learners to ensure they have mouth-safe materials to explore.
