Our Learning Space
Our commitment to health and safety gives your preschooler the physical, emotional, technological and cognitive foundation they need to thrive in school and in life. Our home based classroom is designed around your child's unique needs and safety.
At Mariposas we believe that young children learn best when they are not over stimulated with too much "stuff" and toys around them. We believe less is more! The neutral colors on the wall and furniture provide a home-like environment that helps children feel safe and comfortable. It also encourages positive, nurturing, and stress free interactions and relationships with their peers and teachers. The classroom is strategically and purposefully have organized into learning centers such as reading, science, math, art, blocks, and writing.
Outdoor Classroom
Mariposas believes that outdoor play and nature builds confidence, promotes creativity and imagination, teach responsibility, encourage physical activity, and reduces stress and fatigue. Whether permitted, children at Mariposas will engage in daily opportunities to engage with learning outdoors. Some outdoor activities are but not limited to:
running
riding tricycles
gardening
chalk writing/art on the blacktop
storytime outside
nature walks
exploratory play in our designated play area
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, "Children and teens who spend time playing outside and enjoying nature can be: physically healthier, more engaged in learning, more positive in behavior, and mentally healthier." - Benefits of Playing Outside- American Academy of Pedicatrics
