Just as when young children are at home, the nursery students may choose to join the adults in their work, imitate work the adults are doing, or play nearby under the watchful eyes of his or her teachers. The children are wrapped in a comfortable, secure routine which gives them great confidence to explore their surroundings and immerse themselves in the all-important work of the child: play. Since young children absorb the world primarily through their senses, our biggest job in the Nursery and the Kindergarten is to provide an environment which is worthy of their absorption and imitation. We feel it is healthy and important for the children to spend time outdoors each day if at all possible. Unless it is a high ozone day or actively storming, the children spend a portion of each day outside, experiencing the world as the seasons change.
