Discovery (3.5-4.5 year olds)
Our Discovery class is designed for children turning 4 years old. We have a 1:9 ratio with a max of 18 children per day.
These students are developing the skills to collaborate and truly work together in their play. They mostly begin in the associative play state where they each have their own goal for play but are interacting with one another as they meet them. Throughout the year the students scaffold their interactions to work towards a common goal during their play. This cooperative play foundation sets the tone for their project work and transition to the Maven class.
Throughout our play, these students are focusing a lot of our attention on writing our names, learning our letters, communication with each other, and being leaders in the classroom and in our community. On a daily basis we have opportunities for letter mastery, fine motor practice, sensory exploration, imaginary play, building and architecture, scientific experiments, math/logic, and featured artists and mediums.

Meet your Teachers
Miss Allie
Allie’s birthday is May 30. Outside of work, you can find Allie among the trees, at a playground with her two kids or in the water. She loves biking, paddle boarding, and rock climbing. During the rainy season you may find her inside reading a good book or drawing. She enjoys Centro Neighborhood Market, Elliot’s Oyster House, Sushi Maki and Fonda La Catrina. She loves to picnic by the water, walk through the forest, attend ecstatic dance events, and going to the skatepark with her kids. Some favorite shops are NW Art and Frame, Moon Room, and Cartwheel Vintage and Consign. Allie would love to learn more about finances, foraging, and traditions around the world.
Miss Collin
Hi, my name is Collin Aguilar. My birthday is August 2. I serve at my local church in the children’s ministry and love interacting with every new kid that shows up. I love reading, and puzzles that make my head hurt exploring nature, going on hikes and I value family and culture.
