Abby started at Knollwood Preschool this fall and has been loving the change of pace. It is much closer to our house and she's going three days a week instead of two this year. Her friend Celia has been going here for a few years now and they just love it...now we know why! The teachers are incredibly loving and the class sizes are very small. They run the discovery center downstairs similar to a children's museum, with lots of hands on stations and opportunities for imaginative play. Abby is thriving in this sort of environment and loves the days she goes to school.
In lieu of a typical playground, the school offers a play garden, which is awesome! There are tunnels through hillsides, slides built into the ground, a "birds nest" to play in, a working vegetable garden, a sandbox, and xylophones in a gazebo. It is pretty unique and Abby has really taken to the school well. The artwork she brings home is crazy fun--discarded recycling items turned into creative projects. The teachers have all been teaching there for years and enjoy being with the kids as much as she enjoys being with them!
She has her first field trip this week, to the local rock quarry, too fun!
