A Day at Corner
|
“I thought I knew how to be with children, but it wasn't until I found my way to Corner that I really learned how to be with children in a truly authentic way.”
--Jeannette Baird, teacher 2010–present |

There is a routine to the day at Corner more than a schedule.
One activity follows the next, but the extent of each activity varies from day to day. Rather than the teachers directing lessons, we support the children's choices of safe play and engagement, allowing for developmental growth in all areas of learning; social, emotional, physical and intellectual. Our large group discussions integrate issues of social justice, model mindfulness of self and others, and promote cooperative learning. Since September 2020 we have been a primarily outdoor program, using our indoor space for rest time and inclement weather. We offer morning and afternoon vegan snacks, and ask that families provide a daily, individual lunch of whatever food groups their child prefers, with the exception of candy, chocolate and other sugary snacks. We are open Monday–Thursday, 8am to 4:30pm, Friday, 8am to 1pm. We have an open-door policy, parents are always welcome. |
