The Navigators Room - 10 children: 3 to 5 years

 

The Navigator Classroom is home to a group of children ages 3-5 years old. In the constructivist philosophy, children are encouraged to use their skills to explore their own interests through art, fine and gross motor activities, dramatic play and more. Curriculum is emergent and negotiated. Teachers act as facilitators to provide a structure of support and scaffolding that best supports the children as they grow and thrive. The classroom materials and schedule promote hands-on exploration, problem solving, and cooperation with peers as children are constructing their understanding of the world around them. Whether they will transition next year to Pre-K or Kindergarten, they will build the skills to be successful based on their individual needs.
