In a typical day at “The Playhouse,” children are engaged in Circle Time, Free Play, Art, Music and Movement, Story Time, Learning Time and Outdoor Play (weather permitting). In addition, children enjoy nature walks, science, math, puppetry, poetry, cooking, drama, and become familiar with composers of classical music. Children are introduced to the phonetic basis of reading through our Organic Approach to Reading(c), program developed by our Director, Dr. Diana Rothenberg, EdD. Handwriting skills are also developed through sequential activities.
