Growing Together Class

 

Thursday Mornings Sept - Dec and Feb - May

Bring your child(ren) and find out more about Apple Blossom’s approach to an unhurried childhood, preserving awe and wonder, the importance of play and movement, healthy screentime habits, mindful parenting, and outdoor learning. We provide a supportive and welcoming environment for both children and caregivers. We encourage freedom of movement and self-initiated play for the children while enjoying time with other families in our outdoor play space and yurt.

Caregiver and Child(ren) ages birth - 6 years

Growing Together Class is held 9:30 - 11:30 am at the Kinder Yurt. Come dressed for the weather to play outside for at least a portion of the class whenever possible. The cozy yurts are used for warm ups or in weather that is too cold. Dress in warm layers and good outer gear for our climate. Our play yard is intentionally rustic with uneven ground which develops balance, large motor skills, and perseverance in our little ones, leading to healthy physical growth.

Class Rhythm

Class is led by our Multi-Age Kinder Teacher. Following a similar rhythm to our Pre-Kinder Class, we will explore the activity of the day (painting, baking, or soup making), play, purposeful work, circle time songs and fingerplays, and oral storytelling and puppetry. A parent craft and topic of the day are offered as children play nearby. A healthy snack is provided for the children and you are welcome to bring your coffee or tea. Bring a sippy cup or water bottle with water and any extra snacks you need.
