Huckleberry Mountain Preschool

Huckleberry Mountain Preschool is place where children are nurtured and inspired during their early childhood education, which centers around creating a warm, rhythmical, and predictable setting where activities such as baking, painting, gardening andhandicrafts, can be imitated by the children as they learn about their world. <br/> <br/>My facilities are incorporated into a beautiful, quiet, and safe home setting, toys made from natural materials and an outdoor sandbox and garden to tend! <br/> <br/>I take great care in getting to know each child and their individual temperament and needs so they can develop to their full potential as they learn and interact with the other children. <br/> <br/>Huckleberry Mountain Preschool curriculum for children 2 1/2 years old to 4 years old (completely potty trained). <br/>Activities of the day include circle time, story telling, puppet shows, play-acting, gardening, painting, and drawing, beeswax modeling, simple crafts for celebrating festivals, cooking and baking, play with water and sand, household activities like washing, folding and ironing napkins, sweeping the room and cleaning the toys, washing the dishes after snack time, and sewing. <br/> <br/>The Preschool provides snack and each child brings his/her own lunch. Snacks are simple and organic - fruit, rice crackers or yogurt with warm herb tea or organic fruit juices for example. They can be adjusted to meet most allergy needs.
