Pick your child's room, then the shift that fits your week

The four rooms
What each room does with the day
A move to the next room is planned with you before it happens.
Infants and toddlers
Floor play, songs and board books. Jamilla keeps a note for each family at pickup: feeding, naps and what your baby tried today. Bottles and naps follow your baby's own rhythm.
Tummy time and floor play
Walking, climbing and pushing a toy
Naming things in picture books
Twos
A play kitchen, blocks and the first art table. Children play beside friends and start to share, with a teacher close by.
Singing, shaking and drumming
Dressing up in the play kitchen
Digging in the sand and the yard
Threes
Circle time, paint and helping jobs. Sharla leads the Threes and the Fours, so the next room has a familiar face in it.
Circle time and helping jobs
Painting, cutting and gluing
Telling a story from a picture book
Fours
Stories, counting games and plenty of time in the yard. In spring Sharla plans the move to kindergarten with each family.
Writing a name and a longer story
Counting games with blocks and beads
Gardening in the raised bed
