“Every child is an artist” - Pablo Picasso
Art is an every day experience at Shuckleberries. Using a variety of mediums the children are able to explore colors, shapes, designs and textures, as well as build their criticial thinking and social emotional skills. With strong emphasis on the process over the final product, the children are also able to build confidence as well as strengthen many skills needed for elementary school learning.
“The goal of early childhood education should be to activate the child’s own natural desire to learn” - Maria Montessori
Shuckleberries is outside during all weather, except at naptime. We have the opportunity to move indoors during storms or unsafe air quality.
“It’s a happy talent to know how to play” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning.
But for children, play is serious learning.
Play really is the work of childhood.” -
