Our morning program includes structured activities to introduce social-emotional concepts and skills, and time for free play when students practice those skills. Teachers also offer a variety of invitations to provoke exploration of many areas, such as art, math, music, science, and movement.
The afternoon program at Kinderstube allows for more child-initiated, cognitive, and manipulative activities that develop children’s creativity and problem-solving skills, such as playing at the sensory table, solving puzzles, one-on-one playtime with teachers, creative play with classmates, group sing-alongs, outdoor recreation, and more. Our circle time focus is often on music, rhythm, and movement.
Children are encouraged to nap or rest for a 30-minute period. Quiet activities are offered to those who don’t need naps anymore. Sleeping children are gently woken up by 2:00 p.m.
