Created a warm and inviting mixed-aged kindergarten class for children 3-6 years old, with an atmosphere of ample time for daily free play and exploration using natural open-ended playthings and materials to nurture a young child's imagination and interconnectedness with the outer world. Class is taught using a play-based non-academic curriculum, and the children engage their imagination and will as they learn artistic and practical life skills through bread baking, soup making, watercolor painting, handcrafts, and woodworking. Their creativity is inspired through story telling, puppet shows, and an active and imaginative daily circle time.
