Although our program has been flourishing for over 40 years, we moved into our new site on March 28th, 2016, and have been settling in and enjoying all the features that the new site has to offer. We are thrilled about the opportunities this new facility provides our teachers, staff, children, and students. The classrooms are large, FILLED with natural light, all brand new furniture and equipment, and tons of space. We have a dedicated gross motor room, yards for every class, an infant room and yard for a future infant program, conference space, a full kitchen, a large staff lounge, and tons of storage! We brought materials, memories, and experiences from our beloved “old” lab school location to help as we build new memories and experiences in this new space.
Some additional features of the new site include:
- For everyone’s safety, we’ve increased security across our site and improved communication between families and staff. All arrivals and departures will take place through a centralized entrance. Parents will sign children in and out at this location, and all visitors and students will be authorized to enter through the central reception area
- Larger classrooms, with a significant increase in square footage per child.
- The outdoor, water-wise environment is designed with care to ensure that it is both child-safe and challenging. The outdoor spaces include many gross motor opportunities and child-sized bathrooms.
- Kitchen with abundant appliances to accommodate providing meals for the entire site.
- Modern, clean design throughout.
