Departure
Our schedule is our rhythm. It is the way we flow and move within our day, but we are not limited by it. The most important thing for me is that each child delights in learning and I want this to be a place where they are free to explore, engage, and grow at their own pace. To ensure this, our schedule is fluid. We use it as a compass to guide us throughout our day but if we get lost within a discussion or activity, we will embrace every bit of that joy and move on when we are all ready to do so.
