Our philosophy of early education is rooted in the benefits and lessons that a play-based curriculum offers to young children. We believe that learning through both facilitated and organic play during early childhood is essential preparation both for school and for life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stpaulsweekdayns.org\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/preK-cropped-with-hats-corrected--1024x500.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stpaulsweekdayns.org\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/preK-cropped-with-hats-corrected--1024x500.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.stpaulsweekdayns.org\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/preK-cropped-with-hats-corrected--300x147.png 300w, https:\/\/www.stpaulsweekdayns.org\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/preK-cropped-with-hats-corrected--768x375.png 768w, https:\/\/www.stpaulsweekdayns.org\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/preK-cropped-with-hats-corrected--1536x750.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.stpaulsweekdayns.org\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/preK-cropped-with-hats-corrected--2048x1000.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.stpaulsweekdayns.org\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/preK-cropped-with-hats-corrected--655x320.png 655w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The curriculum is designed to foster a child&#8217;s natural curiosity and imagination. In a warm and caring environment, we encourage children to question, to articulate feelings, to experiment with various methods of problem solving, to empathize with others, and to develop self-help skills. Pre-reading and pre-math skills are developed through facilitated activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"643\" height=\"862\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stpaulsweekdayns.org\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/M_at_snack.jpg\" alt=\"M at snack\" data-id=\"48\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.stpaulsweekdayns.org\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/M_at_snack.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.stpaulsweekdayns.org\/website\/m_at_snack\/\" class=\"wp-image-48\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stpaulsweekdayns.org\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/M_at_snack.jpg 643w, https:\/\/www.stpaulsweekdayns.org\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/M_at_snack-224x300.jpg 224w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 643px) 100vw, 643px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"879\" height=\"753\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stpaulsweekdayns.org\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/boy_snack.jpg\" alt=\"boy having snack\" data-id=\"37\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.stpaulsweekdayns.org\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/boy_snack.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.stpaulsweekdayns.org\/website\/boy_snack\/\" class=\"wp-image-37\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stpaulsweekdayns.org\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/boy_snack.jpg 879w, https:\/\/www.stpaulsweekdayns.org\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/boy_snack-300x257.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.stpaulsweekdayns.org\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/boy_snack-768x658.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.stpaulsweekdayns.org\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/boy_snack-655x561.jpg 655w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 879px) 100vw, 879px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"975\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stpaulsweekdayns.org\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Boy-finger-painting-1024x975.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"239\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.stpaulsweekdayns.org\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Boy-finger-painting.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.stpaulsweekdayns.org\/website\/boy-finger-painting\/\" class=\"wp-image-239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stpaulsweekdayns.org\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Boy-finger-painting-1024x975.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.stpaulsweekdayns.org\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Boy-finger-painting-300x286.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.stpaulsweekdayns.org\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Boy-finger-painting-768x731.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.stpaulsweekdayns.org\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Boy-finger-painting-1536x1462.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.stpaulsweekdayns.org\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Boy-finger-painting-2048x1950.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.stpaulsweekdayns.org\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Boy-finger-painting-655x624.jpg 655w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our program runs from September through June and we follow the public-school calendar.
