Section 1011.60(2) F.S. requires schools to provide 720 instructional hours per school year. Our classes commence at 9:00 and end at 1:00 Monday through Friday, for 180 days of the year, meeting this requirement while honoring the philosophy that children of this age should have ample time at home and out of doors.

Circle Time is a time to share, read stories, introduce new work, and talk about discoveries. Most days snack is 'self-serve' with a friend. Fruits, whole grains, nuts, and veggies tend to be our selection. Children prepare their own snack, as part of our practical life curriculum, and share with a friend at a cozy two person table designated especially for snack. Parents are welcome to provide a special group snack on birthdays and other special days. Please notify us a few days in advance so we don't set up the snack table that day. Please advise us of all food allergies verbally and on your child's registration form. Each Friday we will post our snack menu for the coming week. If our selection does not meet your child's special dietary needs please provide a snack and drink from home packed in a standard snack or lunch container and with an ice pack if needed.

During the class day we work independently, in pairs, and in small groups - exploring each area of the curriculum, introducing new lessons, and practicing those already presented. We also make time for yoga, music, and art, every day. Special instructional, movement, and listening therapies will be provided as needed during the course of the school day, either in group or one on one. Teachers keep very careful notes of all work, and parents are able to view confidential weekly updates online.
