Welcome to our Primary Community!
The Primary environment provides children two and a half to six years old a splendid opportunity for work and play independently as well as in group settings. This program is intended to be a three year cycle and is your child's first introduction to an academic learning environment. While continuing to provide daily practical life skills, we also enrich each child with math, language, science, geography, sensory/motor and cultural studies. The academic materials are designed to gently lead your child from concrete operations into a slow evolution of abstraction. Each child is able to learn and progress at an individual pace that honors her unique strengths and abilities.
At the end of the three year cycle, children are well-prepared to move forward to first grade. This is not just because of the strong academic foundation they have built but because of the social, physical, and emotional skills gained as well. Our graduates are intrinsically motivated learners with a healthy respect for self, others, and the environment.
