Celebrating New Learning Spaces - Early Childhood Discovery Garden
An outstanding school not only continually improves educational programs and practices, but also reinvests in its facility to renew and repurpose space to maximize student learning.
This week we celebrate our new Early Childhood Discovery Garden. Thanks in part to the generous support of an anonymous donor, we were able to completely renovate this campus area over the summer. The garden has been designed for Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten students to:
Engage in scientific learning of physical, life, and earth sciences through direct manipulation and exploration of natural materials and phenomena such as sand, water, leaves, plants, insects, etc.
Develop fine motor and gross motor skills through climbing, digging, art, and music activities.
“We are excited to use this outdoor area and understand that this space can be more than just recreation. It's built for dynamic learning, cultivating our curious explorers, and stimulating their physical, cognitive, and social growth.” - The Early Childhood Team
