Skytown Preschool Business OFC

read moreChildren are encouraged to use a wide variety of materials to explore their world, building their skills in literacy, math, and science. The multi-age classroom allows for daily practice in social skills and communication. Skytown teachers choose our school for the unusual experience of collaborating closely with parents. Our dedicated staff makes sure the classroom is a rich environment, so as our children learn about their world, we parents learn about our children. A co-operative school depends on its community of parents.

read moreI have been an educator for 34 years. For most of that time I have worked with toddlers and preschoolers. I have also taught in elementary school, taught early childhood education courses at the university level, and led parenting classes. At all levels my work in education has filled my life with joy and a deep respect for young children and their families. The focus of my work comes from teaching a respect for children as they are and not as what we wish them to be one day. Children are capable and their perspectives are valuable and add beauty and knowledge to our world and enrich our communities.

We provide a wide variety of materials to measure, stack, build, take apart, and otherwise explore. Tools like the sensory bin pictured here allow children to explore volumes and weights while also providing tactile stimulation. Our large sand area is perfect for digging and building projects. Literacy happens in our classroom in many ways.
