Learning activities are developed that tie back to these themes and concepts in engaging and creative ways. Our teachers thoughtfully connect STEAM concepts to our integrated curriculum through projects, class meetings, Big Group Science and Big Group Art.

    In addition to our awesome integrated curriculum, we have a lot of wonderful monthly events and activities. Special monthly activities include field trips, in-house presentations, music and film making, cooking, community service projects, and program-wide theme days.
