Morning Stay and Play!

This spring we are offering sweet and magical Friday morning play sessions for caregivers and their children. For caregivers and littles - all ages welcome! Toddlers through age 8 is the ideal age range. This is a great way to become familiar with our space and our approach while we build the morning learning community for Fall 2026 school year.

Sample Schedule:

9:00 Arrivals, welcome, explore the garden and play yard, creative offering

10:15 Snack, brief circle gathering, parents share, toileting

10:45 Tend chickens and walk the hill to Grandmother Oak

11:45 close the day by cleaning up and saying goodbye

Stay and Play Agreements:

• Parents provide their children's snack and bring water bottle and weather-appropriate layers / sunscreen etc.
• Parents are present and responsible for supervision of their child(ren) and helping to maintain safe interactions. Please no phone usage and keep side chatter to a minimum.
