Hours of Operation

Our school is open from 7:45 AM to 5:30 PM Monday through Friday.

Parents MUST accompany their children into the building, sign them in, and wait for a staff member to acknowledge their presence before leaving the child in custody of the school.  Parents are legally responsible for signing children into and out of the program and for providing a valid telephone number to be reached that day.  Children will only be released to another adult previously designated by parents in writing.  Telephone requests or authorizations for pickup are not permitted.

Classroom Schedules

White boards, class schedules, and newsletters are located in both buildings, offering information regarding monthly, weekly, and daily schedules, curriculum, and lesson plans.  The information regarding naps and diaper changes are located on the daily sign in sheets.  Any questions regarding curriculum may be addressed to the Lead Teachers and/or Executive Director.

Curriculums

Curriculum at the Little Red Schoolhouse is designed to meet the needs of the individual children enrolled in our programs.  Great care is taken and effort made to assess children’s interests and skill levels, these assessments are used as building blocks for curriculum development.

Ordinary items become the extraordinary!  In our world, Toddlers take yarn and plastic wrap and make jellyfish for their spray painted ocean (spray bottles filled with watercolor paint), paper bags become fish, egg cartons become leis, and newspaper becomes hula skirts.  Our Preschoolers turn paper plates into crabs and toilet paper rolls into sharks, messes are the order of the day, for not only do we make the messes, we also learn to help clean them up.

Scientific experiments are commonplace, ranging from learning to put on our shoes, solving the dilemma of how to turn on the water faucet to wash our hands, watching what water does to dry sand, seeing the change when milk is poured into flour to make the batter for crepes, to watching caterpillars spin cocoons and those cocoons develop into butterflies while learning about the wonder of metamorphosis.

Our music, dramatic play, manipulatives, and gross motor items, blocks, sand and water play, library and listening center, light tables and writing center all play a part in enhancing their social skills, cognitive development (the ability to reason and problem solve through to its conclusion), along with emotional and physical development.

ALL WE DO IS PLAY!

For us play is our work and hard work it is. We laugh, we cry, we dig in the dirt, we cook, we have fun.  And while we have fun we LEARN.
