Our Curriculum
WHAT IS IT?
OUTDOOR SCHOOL
Outdoor (and forest) schools generally focus on preschool age children. At our school, instead of sitting and playing indoors, children play, learn, explore our Long Branch community, and enjoy story time all in the open air.
PLAY-BASED EDUCATION
Play supports language acquisition, early literacy, conceptual learning, problem solving, large and small motor skills and creativity. Children develop creativity and problem-solving skills. Through play, children develop a sense of what is possible.
PLACE-BASED EDUCATION
Place-based learning connects us with our community, including physical environment, local landscape, and neighbors. Children gain an understanding of themselves and their place in the world.
