Explorers & Seekers
The Explorers program is for our youngest students, 18 month olds to younger two-year-olds. To join us in this classroom, students are required to be 18 months old by August 1. Our teachers work with these students on developing independence and socialization, building self-control and instilling a love of learning.
Explorers students experience:
- play-based learning as we introduce them to life at school,
- open-ended learning activities guided by nurturing, experienced teachers of young children,
- activities designed to “grow” age-appropriate skills through self-selected experiences and teacher guided activities, and
- the joy of hands-on, active learning projects.
The Seekers program is for students who are “older” two year olds. To join us in this classroom, students are required to be 2 years old by August 1. Our teachers work with these students to instill a love of learning and the joy of discovery.
Seekers students experience:
- open-ended learning activities guided by nurturing, experienced teachers of young children,
- scaffolded activities designed to foster individual development and age-appropriate skills through self-selected experiences and materials as well as teacher guided activities, and
- active learning projects that further each child’s development through independence, socialization, self-regulation, and foundational skill development.
