Transitional Kindergarten at New Garden Friends School
Imagine a classroom with fewer desks and more learning! This program at New Garden Friends School provides the “gift of time” for younger students to engage in a rich, early educational experience. An important component of learning at this age is play. In our busy world, finding time for young children to play can be difficult; at New Garden Friends, school it is a priority. The research is plentiful and compelling: Unstructured playtime allows children to create and explore worlds they can master. Play helps provide a balance to a child’s day in which academic, social, and emotional growth can occur simultaneously. As children master their imagined worlds, they develop new competencies that lead to enhanced confidence and resiliency. During indoor “choice time,” teachers create similar opportunities by providing materials and structure in an unhurried setting. To learn more about Transitional Kindergarten as well as all Preschool through 12th grade, visit www.ngfs.org or email admissions@ngfs.org.
