Other subjects taught	With the guidance of teachers children are always welcome to explore the world around them. We offer a wide range of artistic activities for the children. In the course of a morning we might go pick blackberries, bring them back to school and make jam. We might go for a walk, gather apples and bake an apple crisp. On our field trip to an organic farm we picked pumpkins, and also brought one back, baked it and made pumpkin pies.				n/a

Director's Comments

Through the exploration of the world around us we learn about our world, ourselves and our friends and how best to navigate it all.
The children feel like their teachers are one of the family, and know they are loved, and safe. Through this sense of security they feel the freedom to explore.
