Butterfly Garden's Philosophy Statement

Authentic and meaningful experiences are key in building lifelong skills and understanding. Children learn best when they are engaged in play activities, which foster social, cognitive as well as motor abilities. At Butterfly Garden, we offer hands-on learning activities promoting exploration and experimentation.

 

 

Lots of time learning in the garden
 

Activities Offered

Children are afforded play-based learning through an enriched environment including a twenty-one wine barrel garden, enhanced backyard playground and High Scope Curriculum. Daily routine consists of a literacy based circle time, creative art, and stimulating sensory materials. Amongst other activities, children may freely choose to ride a bike, play in the sandbox, paint or read a story. Inside cubbies are filled with developmentally appropriate materials that foster counting, sorting, organizing and classification.
