Road Runners
The Roadrunners, our oldest classroom, serves children ages 5-6 who miss the local kindergarten cut off date.
The roadrunners focus on independence, self-direction, self-management and responsibility. We help your child develop intellectually, socially and emotionally while respecting and honoring his/her own developmental schedule.
As we work toward these major goals, we will provide learning experiences that are designed around the multiple objectives of knowledge, thinking social and academic skills, attitudes and feelings, and language development.
We have fun, get messy, talk with each other a lot, help each other, solve problems together, listen to stories, write, read, do math, be scientific, sing, dance and be joyful.
