Buttercup Classroom

Welcome to The Buttercup class! (Pre-K/ Transitional Kinder 4yr-5yrs)

This Reggio-inspired classroom offers a flexible, open-ended environment which ignites meaningful learning experiences. This environment creates a gateway for the child’s learning and is not only functional but also beautiful and reflective of the child’s individualism. In the classroom children will be able to display their long-term projects promoting team building and collaboration in group settings. We support the process of both photo and educational documentation of their preparation and planning together as we sit back and watch their learning in action. The classroom is inspiring and sparks curiosity within our various centers which provokes questions and supports experiential learning. Centers such as the literacy center, writing center, sensory and art centers along with STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) centers. The classroom is never stagnant and always evolving based on the child’s interests. This preschool group also spends a lot of their time in their outside classroom where more learning and discovery happens. Kindergarten readiness is infused into our daily learning in all areas of development which is aligned with The California Department of Education. Academia is not taught but experienced through play. The Teacher is a co-learner and observer of each student and introduces learning opportunities that are meaningful to the child in order to ensure rich educational experiences.
