CURRICULUM FOR SHINE ON KIDS

Our literacy-rich, play-based early childhood program provides children the opportunity to play, explore and imagine their world in a loving environment filled with natural materials. The main emphasis is placed on developing imagination and creative thinking skills. This program is strongly influenced by Waldorf Pre-school, Yogic & Native American Teachings.

  • Daily activities provide a comfortable and reliable rhythm, including movement, poetry, singing and puppet plays
  • Teachers tell nature stories, folk and fairy tales from around the world
  • Children experience artistic activities such as watercolor painting, drawing, beeswax modeling, music and movement
  • Other activities may include gardening, food preparation and handwork
  • Through the example of the teacher, the students develop social skills and reverence for the world around them

DAILY RHYTHM

The day's activities unfold in an unhurried way with each day following an established rhythm, giving the child a sense of security and consistency. We believe in nurturing the child's bodies both inside and out. The rhythm of the day is such that a child is able to breathe in a healthy way. For example, in the morning the children enter into "free play" (out breath) and subsequently transition into circle time (in breath). The movement of the breath also allows the child's body to relax, freeing up his or her ability to be present each moment. The teachers provide a constant movement from one breath to the next which permits healthy growth of the child. In addition to daily rhythms, we coordinate our activities on the seasonal rhythms of the year.
