Our Purpose
Come join this fun new class for children ages 5-8 years of age! You are already doing wonderful things to support your child in their educational journey at home…this is just an additional support for them to get little "tastes" of learning through more play and interacting with new friends around their same age in a weekly class-like environment and have a chance to discuss basic life values through stories with each other.
The main thing this age of children need is PLAY and exploring to help spark that love of learning in natural fun ways. Each class day will look different than the week before, though some core focuses will be consistent each week like bright spots, poetry, sharing time, and music that build specific skills as a class. I believe that a variety in topics and experience will keep this being a class that they look forward to being a part of each week! We will have 1-2 "windows" of learning each class period and these are some of the topics we may pull from to experience together throughout the semester:
*Read aloud picture books in science, history, fairy tales, and other heart-warming books that teach core values and principles.
*Music in multiple ways: singing, bells, body rhythm, music appreciation, etc.
*Art & handcrafts
*Group & educational games appropriate to their age level
*Dress-ups and play acting
*Geography and country culture
*Cooking/baking in fun ways
*Building & creating with blocks, marble runs, and other materials for small projects
*Team-building skills as a class
*Nature time outside in both play and observation of trees, plants, bugs, etc as is available for the season.
*Playtime as a class outside, but really all of this will feel like playtime! (trampoline, swings, wiggle cars, jump rope, etc.)

Reviews from Core class:
"Core class is a favorite of my kids! They look forward to class each week and love telling me about all that they learned and showing me their amazing art or crafts after class. As a parent, I appreciate the amazing experience Core class offers that would be difficult for me to recreate at home. I love the hands-on activities blended with a gentle learning structure that make this class perfect for fostering a love of learning and curiosity in young minds." ~ Rachel (parent of students)
"The core class brought so much fun into our school year! My daughter was so excited to go every time! Some of her favorite parts were the new book read each class, the projects and the opportunity to have free time outside exploring and playing. I loved the values and examples that the leaders helped instill in the kids. This was such a wonderful and safe environment for kids to make friends, play, explore and learn in a hands on and exciting way. " ~ Marina (parent of student)
