Each day, during the sessions, children between the ages of 2 and 6 years old follow their innate curiosity and desire to learn through opportunities that scaffold according to the Progressive model.  Open inquiry and creative exploration abound in the various stations that children may work at each day.  Children move freely from the outdoor climbing structure and sand lot, to the Art and Science Studio on the deck. This freedom allows students to immerse themselves in the experiences that suit them developmentally and temperamentally.  One student might choose to spend all day working assiduously in the garden, while another prefers to feel the wind in their hair on the swing set for the bulk of the afternoon.  At age two or three, a child might be most comfortable digging channels in the sandbox, while at four that same child might be leading a group of experimenters constructing an erupting volcano, and by five will be confidently designing a multi-step large-scale art project.
