School Philosophy and Mission

"For Blue Igloo families, the playgroup offers a welcoming and dynamic place for small children to play. It introduces young children to new toys, activities, languages and friends. It allows parents to play alongside their children and take an active role in their daily fun and development while witnessing their growing confidence in group settings. At the same time, Blue Igloo offers a remarkable resource to parents and caregivers seeking advice and companionship."

A Season of Rituals

Dec

Mon

Darkest December is upon us, and we are all preparing, in our different ways, to light it up with rituals. Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year's. Parties, tree lightings, and holiday cards. Visits with family. Feasts, gifts, and candles.

Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?

Get large plastic buckets (or sand buckets if you have lots of really little toys )in a variety of solid colors (red, blue, yellow, green, pink). Ask your child to clean up his/her toys by putting the toys in the bucket corresponding to the color bucket. Great for teaching personal responsibility, color identification, and sorting.
