Our calendar year is divided into two. Our school year programs start in early September and end in late May, while our summer program runs from early June until Mid August.
School Year Program |
Shooting Stars (Preschoolers)
Age 3-6 Preschoolers spend their day engaged in a number of activities in a rhythmical flow that is followed consistently. Each day there is a hands-on craft or cooking activity, a rich circle time filled with movement, verses and songs, a nutritious snack, a story time which is often accompanied by puppetry, and plenty of time for indoor and outdoor free play. We strive to serve primarily organic and locally produced foods and all of our food is made from scratch, with love. Afternoon Care The afternoon care rhythm allows time for rest & naps, simple seasonal projects, simple snacks, & ample indoor and outdoor free play after a busy morning. This is a lovely time for Shooting Stars who have been with us for the morning program and for Snapdragons & Sweet Peas who may just be joining us for a half day. It is not recommended for Shooting Stars to start the day in the afternoon as it can be a difficult transition to arrive and be expected to rest right away. See enrollment forms for more details. Sweet Peas and Snap Dragons Age 3-12 months Age 1-3 years We are excited to be able to accommodate a limited number of our littlest community members! Infants and Toddlers spend their days amongst our preschoolers, engaging with their elders while being cared for with ample love and warmth in a soothing, home-like environment. Little ones weave a richness and diversity of age and needs into our days as they learn from the preschoolers and the preschoolers in turn learn to nurture and practice being good role models. |
Summer Program |
Starting in early June, after a short break from school year programming, Mountain Bluebells Summer Care embraces our short but beautiful summer season by spending as much time as possible outside. Our days honor the spirit of the season as we plant, harvest, and taste foods from our garden, take daily nature walks, grow bean-pole teepees and sunflower houses, enjoy outdoor games and crafts, and embrace lots of water play. We soak up the sun (and relax in the shade) all day except for indoor rest time and periods of inclement weather.
