Our Lower Elementary full-morning drop off program, affectionately called Tadpoles, is for children kindergarten through 2nd grade. The purpose of the Tadpoles program is to give homeschoolers from the age of 5 to 8 a place to practice autonomy, build community, and learn through exploration. With a focus on literature this year we will be reading numerous books by the same authors, writing our own books, discussing where stories take place and how they are structured, spending time outdoors, and building confidence, children will be encouraged to pursue their interest, try new things, and learn at their own pace. In our eighth year as a program, we will be continuing art class with Jackie as part of our Tadpoles day, as well as Creative Movement with Sheramy.
Due to continued interest in our programming for this age group, Tadpoles will be offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Both days will be focusing on the same lesson objective each week.
Each day includes creative movement, art class, lesson/project time, lunch, and play time.
Classes run on Tuesday OR Thursday from 9:00-1:30
*Students are welcome to register for both days
Each Tadpole day (Tuesday or Thursday) has a monthly program fee of $165 (this includes the creative movement and art class portion of the day)
There is a one time material fee of $150; $85 of which is paid directly to Adele for the tadpole classroom materials and $65 paid to Jackie for the yearly art material fee.
