Music & Movement
Our Music and Movement program offers a dynamic, developmentally appropriate experience that nurtures each child's creativity, coordination and confidence. Through guided musical activities, rhythmic exploration and expressive movement, children strengthen motor skills, build listening and language skills, and make positive social connections. Led by experienced educators, the program fosters a lifelong appreciation for music and the joy of active learning.
“Children indeed love flowers, but they need to do something more than remain among them. They find their greatest pleasure in acting, in knowing, in exploring, even apart from the attraction of external beauty.”
~ Maria Montessori
Outdoor Classroom
Early Childhood students visit the Outdoor Classroom every week to explore plants, soil, invertebrates, birds and weather through all the seasons. Hands-on activities build an understanding and love for the natural world, along with essential skills such as balance, control, independence, focus and coordination, through digging and building with logs, sticks and rocks.
Lower Elementary students explore and care for the garden through the changing seasons, learning plant identification, functions and uses, along with earth history, animal adaptations and early cultures, while practicing problem solving and creative application.
Great Outdoors (GO) Program
In Upper Elementary, the Great Outdoors program connects students with their environment through a three-year rotating cycle: watersheds, Utah native plants, and ecosystems and relationships in nature. Students explore habitats through hiking, lessons, projects, observation, note taking, sketching and research, building a direct, personal connection with the natural world and a better understanding of themselves.
