Dandelion Classroom

Welcome to the Dandelion class! ( Preschool/Toddler component beginning at 18 mo)

This classroom offers our students opportunities for independence and discovery within their learning environment. This happens through our centers-based approach where our educators design learning centers such as the reading nook, writing table, art station, sensory bin, cognitive table and more. The cognitive table focuses on fine motor development, STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) activities, practical life skills and more. The centers interchange depending on students interests and allow children to make decisions and promote confidence within their learning. Pretend play is essential in this program and the children love playing in our home center where they have opportunities to socialize and actively experiment with social and emotional roles in life. Through cooperative play children learn how to take turns, share responsibility and creatively problem solve. The classroom also ignites learning with our provocation table where interesting and meaningful activities are displayed which provokes learning.
