Mission
Preschool is a child’s first step out of the home and into the community. A loving environment of natural toys, nutritious foods, and a curriculum that echoes the changing seasons are all part of the experience intended to provide security and health-giving growth for the preschooler.
The relationships between families and school are most important at Evergreen Garden Playschool. As a community we seek to work together, honoring the personal contributions of each individual. We intend to care for our children gracefully and to strive to meet their changing needs.
Daily Activities
Evergreen Garden’s classroom and outdoor settings allow children’s imaginations to flourish. The evenly paced rhythms of the day meet the children’s need for repetition and a balance of quiet and lively activities.
A typical morning includes:
- Outdoor play in all weather
- Circle time with songs and movement games
- Wholesome snack
- Indoor play with toys made from natural materials
- Watercolor painting, food preparation, or seasonal craft
- Storytelling or puppet play
