Sign up now for session 2 of Countryside Playschool summer session!

We still have room in our prek class for the second session - choose 1 or 2 days or call for drop in availability.  We meet from 10-1 on Wednesday & Friday through the first week of August. See countrysideplayschool.blogspot.com for pictures & info!

We have lots of outdoor time

Even some wildlife!

Art for every age

Cooking class on Wednesdays

Multi-age classrooms - just like real life!

High quality art materials mean better results.  They cost more than the Wal-Mart version but they're worth it!

Freedom to choose activities within a loose structure develops decision making skills as well as problem solving. Giving children responsibility with items like hot glue gluns & knives in the kitchen (with instruction & supervision!) builds confidence & independence.

Forest School & Corn Maze

 
When: Friday, Oct. 5. Forest School will begin at 2pm & go until 5pm when the Corn Maze opens (this way you can eat lunch at home & your littles can get a nap on the way over - it's a 45-50 minute drive)
Where: Forest School at Lake of the Oaks, Corn Maze in St. Patrick (5 minutes from our place).  I will send a map & directions when you RSVP.
How Much: Forest School is free; Corn Maze is $5 for 5 & up, free for anyone 4 & under
What: Forest School will be outside the whole time, so dress for the weather & bring a change of clothing!  Boots would be good - we have a nice clearing for group activities but we hope to do a little hiking as well.  We'll have planned art & nature study & also plenty of time for making a snack & free play as well.  Materials will be available for children to build forts, swings & whatever their imagination & team work comes up with!  This is for ALL ages, babies through high school & adults - children over about 12 would be fine to explore the woods or kayak as their parents are comfortable (there are 40 acres of forest!).  Bring an ergo or other baby carrier if you have it so you can hike comfortably - or let me know & you can borrow one of mine (I have 2).  We have sand & water for littles so be sure to bring what you need for messy play ;0)
I'd like to do this every season so the children can really observe the same place & see how it changes.  The next of course will be winter & probably in January if we are not in Florida ha ha
Please RSVP by Tuesday night if you plan to come so I can be sure to have enough supplies & snacks etc.
Thank you!
