Fall 2022 - Spring 2023 Day School
Due to the ongoing Covid-19 Pandemic, we require all students, adults, and staff to wear masks when inside our classrooms, bathrooms, and multi-purpose rooms. Masks are optional outside on the playground and on the campus grounds.
Sprouts, ages 5 to 7
Thursday, September 1, 2022 to April 27, 2023, 9am to 2pm
Non-Refundable Tuition: $680 or 4 monthly payments of $170 per semester
Plus a $45 Non-Refundable Registration Fee and a $75 Non-Refundable Supply Fee per semester
Children ages 5 to 7, will study a combination of Kindergarten and First Grade using a
Montessori base with a Lively Arts, mindfulness, and inclusivity influenced curriculum. We aim
to educate the whole child: their mind, body, and heart.
During their day the students will spend most of their time with their main teacher exploring
Circle Time/Story Time, Literature, Poetry, Writing, Math, Spelling, Show and Tell, and Art. They
will also participate in Improv/Theatre Games Class and Gardening/Nature Studies classes with
our those teachers during the day.
As part of their Language Arts lessons the teacher will read, explore, and enact stories with
them each week which will be based on Historical Figures, current Holidays, animals, themes of
kindness and mindfulness, science, nature, or seasonal occasions. Students will then create an
artistic depiction of the story through drawing or painting. During this time, students will also
practice writing and spelling.
Math instruction will include a story component as well as focusing on learning about the
four processes of math — addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. They will also be
introduced to Roman numerals. Math will be very hands-on and include multiple learning
techniques and activities.
Three to four snack times, and outdoor times, will be included in the day so that students have a natural balance of active play time and time to quietly focus. (PLEASE NOTE: WE ARE A NUT FREE FACILITY!) Part of our outdoor time will be free play, and the other part will be focused on nature studies in Gardening Class where students will be exposed to topics such as the four seasons, insect studies, nature crafts and more.

Saplings, ages 9 to11
Class Full - Wait List Only
Thursday, September 1, 2022 to April 27, 2023, 9am to 2pm
Non-Refundable Tuition: $680 or 4 monthly payments of $170 per semester
Plus a $45 Non-Refundable Registration Fee and a $75 Non-Refundable Supply Fee per semester
IMPROV/THEATRE GAMES: Students will learn to think outside the box and express themselves
creatively. They will learn how to think on their feet, listen intently, communicate clearly, all while
having fun with their classmates in a safe, supportive environment. They will be introduce to
different improv techniques as well as fun theatre games that explore different environments,
characters, and emotions. This class is built to support the students and their creativity, and
create an environment where they can let their imaginations soar!
GARDENING & NATURE STUDIES: Students will study a variety of plants, insects, vertebrates,
and invertebrates that are native to Florida. They will learn how our ecosystem works to support
all of the living beings that reside within it. They will be keeping a natural journal to help further
their studies and enhance their knowledge of the natural world around them.
LEGO CHALLENGE: LEGO bricks are the perfect intersection of the freedom of creativity and
strictures of engineering. In this class, students will be challenged to design and create unique
LEGO builds given various conditions, stipulations, and restrictions. For instance, can students
build their favorite meal accurately enough for the rest of us to guess it? Who can build the
tallest tower within a 6x6 area? Can they make a balloon-powered LEGO car drive itself across
the classroom? In addition, throughout the year, students will learn and work with the
Engineering Design Process and see how it can help them turn their imagination into reality.
EARTH & SPACE SCIENCE: From rocks to clouds to sparkling stars in the sky, Earth and Space Science is the study of the marvels and mysteries of the seemingly-ordinary. This year, students will journey from the deepest parts of the Earth under our feet to the distant galaxies billions of light-years away. On Earth, they will learn what gives us days, seasons, and years; why rocks are a window to the past; how water moves below, on, and above the Earth’s surface; the invisible reasons behind weather; and more. When we turn our eyes to the night sky, students will journey through our solar system and beyond, touring planets, asteroids, comets, stars, and galaxies.
ART STUDIO: Students will be introduced to specific skills, materials, and inspiring artists, and then given some freedom of choice to create their own art using what they have learned. The focus during this studio time is on the creative process, and on making choices with intention and confidence.
Three snack times, and outdoor times, will be included throughout the day so that students have a natural balance of active play time and time to quietly focus. (PLEASE NOTE: WE ARE A NUT FREE FACILITY!)

EARTH & SPACE SCIENCE:
From rocks to clouds to sparkling stars in the sky, Earth and Space Science is the study of the
marvels and mysteries of the seemingly-ordinary. This year, students will journey from the
deepest parts of the Earth under our feet to the distant galaxies billions of light-years away.
On Earth, they will learn what gives us days, seasons, and years; why rocks are a window to the
past; how water moves below, on, and above the Earth’s surface; the invisible reasons behind
weather; and more. When we turn our eyes to the night sky, students will journey through our
solar system and beyond, touring planets, asteroids, comets, stars, and galaxies.
This class will use the textbook “Science Explorer: Earth Science” by Pearson as a spine, which
will be provided by the school.
**Students will have required homework assignments each week, geared to their ability level.**
GARDENING & HERBALISM: Students will study a variety of plants, insects, vertebrates, and invertebrates that are native to Florida. They will learn how our ecosystem works to support all of the living beings that reside within it. They will be keeping a natural journal to help further their studies and enhance their knowledge of the natural world around them. Students will also learn how certain plants can be beneficial to aid in first aid, skin care, and health.
**Students should expect to have some homework in this class, ranging from nature walks and working in their nature journals to researching plants and experimenting with herbalism.
ENGINEERING WITH LEGO : LEGO bricks are the perfect intersection of the freedom of creativity and strictures of engineering. In this class, students will work with the LEGO Education BricQ Motion Prime set and an assortment of loose LEGO to meet various challenges and obstacles posed to them. The course will incorporate LEGO Education’s Science of Sports curriculum, which explores physical science (forces, motion, and interactions) within a sports context using LEGO bricks. Once that foundation has been set, students will move on to more complex builds and challenges. The class will work to teach students to let their imaginations range while grounding their creations in reality.
ART STUDIO: Students will be introduced to a variety of art materials, techniques, and inspiring artwork. They will be encouraged to think like an artist and become more comfortable with the creative process. By alternating between learning technique and having space to experiment, students will gain confidence to make their own creative choices.
**Students should expect to have homework each week. There will be some creative exercises to be done at home, as well as some drawing practice.
Three snack times, and outdoor times, will be included throughout the day so that students have a natural balance of active play time and time to quietly focus. (PLEASE NOTE: WE ARE A NUT FREE FACILITY!)
