Children's House
(3 - 6 years)
Children's House
The Children’s House program is a three year continuum designed for children ages three through six. Each year, children build on their previous classroom experience, culminating in the third year, which corresponds to the traditional “kindergarten” year. The classroom
works as a laboratory where children can make sense of the world around them. As they explore and discover things, the classroom materials encourage them to label, classify, and synthesize their daily experiences.
