Greensboro Playschool

We are thrilled about our new indoor gross motor play area. One more bag of 100 foam cubes to add to make 300 foam cubes total.

Water, coffee, juice, snacks and a craft! Plus lots of child led activities 🎉🎃 Also a fall portrait photo op… so bring their Halloween costume or something cute for a photo

Our Approach to Learning

At our preschool, learning happens naturally through exploration, conversation, and hands-on experiences.
We don’t do “calendar time” or worksheets. Instead, we weave meaningful skills into our daily activities:
• Days, Weather & Seasons: We talk about the days of the week, notice the weather, and observe changes in nature.
• Math in Real Life: We count blocks as we stack, animals as we play, or anything else that sparks curiosity.
• Music & Movement: We enjoy rhythm circles together, and children have access to musical instruments all day.
• Creative Expression: Paper, markers, pencils, crayons, paint sticks, and more are always available for independent use.
• Open-Ended Play: Most of our toys don’t light up or make noise — they’re designed for imagination and creativity.
• Life Skills: We encourage independence — putting on shoes, using the bathroom, setting the table, and clearing dishes.
• Social-Emotional Growth: Through free choice and collaboration, children practice self-regulation, problem-solving, and empathy.

Our environment is rich in freedom, exploration, and real-world learning. The skills developed here prepare children for kindergarten and for life — not just academically, but as confident, capable, and caring individuals.

That’s it. I’ve taken off my patient pants. I used to do calendar time. Then started leaning into what is actually developmentally appropriate and did some internal reflection on what I wanted to do it. If you are curious to learn more - comment CALENDAR for a link to the article about calendar time put out by NAEYC. And if you are willing to learn more - comment RETRO and I’ll send you the link to my $9 live zoom class called Retro Circle Time. #playbased #playbasedlearning #emergentcurriculum #childledlearning #learningthroughplay #playtolearn #playbasedpreschool #playbasededucator #iteachk #iteachprek #iteachpreschool #prekteacher #childcareprovider#preschoolteacher #childcare #daycareprovider #daycareowner#familychidcareprovider #familychildcare #earlychildhoodeducator

What if the goal was never to get them “ready” but to let them be? Bev Bos said this back in 1991, and we’re still carrying that message forward. She didn’t just talk about play. She showed us what it looks like to truly trust children and let them lead (and if you don’t know who Bev Bos is, go look her up cuz your ECE education isn’t complete without her). Her influence shaped how we do things here. We’re a child-led, play-based program because we believe childhood isn’t something to rush through. It’s something to honor. Learning happens in the mud, the mess, the joy, and the everyday moments that adults often overlook. We’re not prepping them for school. We’re protecting the kind of childhood they actually deserve. #ThePlayschool🏡 #APartnershipInDiscovery🏡 #Outdoorclassroom🍃 #BevBosWisdom #ProtectingChildhoodThroughPlay #ChildLedLearning #PlayBasedLearning #FamilyChildcare #EarlyChildhoodEducation

A solid program won’t always look “Instagram perfect.” In fact, I think it’s important to show those real moments where children get what they need. Every single child in our program is known well and everyone brings their own beauty. Learning to be together in a way that works for our group is what really matters. This is connection.
