Toddler Program, Preschool, and Kindergarten
Toddler Program
CLWS offers a year-round toddler program in a holistic, natural, play-based environment for children ages 18-36 months.
Preschool and Kindergarten: Play-based Curriculum
Your child is building the capacity for creative thinking, problem-solving and learning. Play is an essential part of this process. Whether inventing games of make-believe in the classroom or splashing in puddles at Fair Oaks Park, we engage your child’s senses and emotions. This gentle introduction lays the groundwork for learning in the grades.
Outdoor games develop the connections between brain and body. Handwork develops the focus and fine motor skills needed for reading and writing. Songs and folk stories grow vocabulary and strengthen memory.
Your child will enjoy:
- Learning stories, poems and songs by heart
- Helping prepare healthy snacks
- Practicing good manners with their classmates
- Exploring nature year-round
- Plenty of time for creative free play
- Creating art projects with natural materials
- A schedule designed to create a gentle transition from home to school
