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.

Miss Carly
Carly, an outdoor loving, laid back and funny teaching began her early childhood education career in 2010. If you were to walk into her classroom at any given moment, your chance of catching her sitting on the floor with a crowd of kids reading a stack of books would be high. Watching the growth that the children show during their time in Carly's care, and knowing that she has played a vital role in their development is what has driven her to continue on her career path. Carly is a wonderful asset to our community and helps children strive for autonomy daily.
Miss Loleisa
Miss Loleisa (low-lay-suh) Loleisa’s journey into early childhood education began during her senior year of high school. Inspired by her mother’s deep love for both her own children and others, Loleisa witnessed firsthand the profound impact one person can have on another's life. Surrounded by children throughout her upbringing, it was natural for her interest in childcare to evolve into a passion. The curiosity, innocence, and potential for growth in each child deeply inspire her. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her family and savoring good food.
