Our rooms
Two rooms, each mixed in age
The Willow room
Three- and young four-year-olds, with a teacher and an assistant. Mornings are for play, circle and a short walk, with plenty of time to settle.
Mornings, three or five days
Snack made in the room
A reading nook with a canopy
The Hazel room
Four- and five-year-olds, including the kindergarten year, with two teachers. The older children take on more of the work: kneading, sewing, telling a story.
