A day in our VPK classroom
Each classroom follows a gentle, structured rhythm: morning arrival, a breakfast snack and table activities, then Circle Time around 9:00 to 9:30am, followed by small-group time, centers and outdoor play. Lunch, story time and rest come at midday; afternoons include music, centers, a second small-group activity, snack and outdoor play, ending with free-choice time and departure.
Kindergarten readiness through STEAM
Our curriculum is The Creative Curriculum®, powered by STEAM: science, technology, engineering, art and math. Children explore, ask questions and make things with their hands, building the creative thinking and problem-solving skills they carry into kindergarten. See our curriculum.
