Structure of the Online Program
Small Group
Zoom Meetings
Teachers hold individual and small group meetings with the children. In these meetings, teachers lead children through developmentally appropriate learning experiences that support their social and emotional development. The lessons focus on
- Literacy and Language
- Mathematical, Scientific and Social Studies
- Physical Development
- Art as a means for expression and communication
- Providing a safe space for children to share their thoughts, feelings, and ideas.
Whole Class
Zoom Meetings
In order to strengthen our classroom communities, whole class meetings are offered every other week. These meetings allow children and teachers to enjoy the experience of the entire classroom learning together. They often consist of our class children and grownups engaging in movement games as they sing and dance together.
Family Connection
Zoom Meetings
School administrators are holding Virtual Family Connection gatherings every other week to provide parents time to connect as a cohort. These meetings aim to support communications and foster interactions among families.
