2020-2021 Outdoor School

Our goal with the 2020/2021 school year is to take all precautions possible with regard to the covid-19 virus without losing sight of our mission of providing a developmentally appropriate and fun learning environment for our kids.  To that end, we will be starting the year with a modified school experience that includes:

• Small, stabile cohorts of of students
• A shortened, entirely outdoor classroom experience

We currently have spots available in our Stars Class for students who were 2.5 years old by 9/1/2020 as well as one spot available in our Rockets class for students who were 3.5 years old by 9/1/2020.

The Stars Class meets on Tuesdays from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. and the Rockets on Mondays and Thursdays from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m.
