Jack Rabbit Class - 3 Year Olds ⤵
Our 3 year-old program provides a nurturing and engaging introduction to learning through play. Held Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:00 to 11:30AM, the program emphasizes open-ended play, outdoor exploration, and hands-on activities inspired by the Flight framework. Children engage in art, storytelling, sensory play, and STEM activities alongside music and opportunities for creative discovery. This fosters curiosity, imagination, and a love of learning in a fun and supportive setting.
Caribou Class - 4 Year Olds ⤵
Our 4 year-old program is designed to support growing independence and foster a love of learning through enriched play experiences. Offered Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings from 9:00 to 11:30AM, this program builds on the skills of older preschoolers, encouraging curiosity, problem-solving, and collaboration. With mornings involving indoor and outdoor gross motor play, storytelling, art, literacy, and STEM exploration, our program nurtures social connections and promotes independence. Children develop key skills such as self-regulation and decision-making, helping them become confident problem solvers and ready for the challenges of kindergarten. All learning is guided by the Flight framework.
Explorers Class - 4/5 Year Olds ⤵
Our Explorers Program is perfect for 4&5 year-olds who love adventure and discovery. Running Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons from 12:30 to 3:00PM, this nature-based program is designed to connect children with the outdoors. Spending half of each week outside, children engage in hands-on exploration, outdoor play, and nature-inspired learning. Guided by the Flight framework, the program encourages curiosity, creativity, and a deeper appreciation for the natural world. With the goal of fostering essential social and problem-solving skills, children navigate challenges, collaborate with peers, and build resiliency in the face of obstacles. Time spent outdoors strengthens physical well-being while helping children develop confidence and resourcefulness, allowing them to approach problems with determination in a dynamic, supportive environment.
