The Green Room at the Child Care center is designed to allow kindergartners time to play, explore their interests and unwind from their day at school. There is a balance of structured and unstructured time for the children. The topics or "themes" covered in the Green Room vary from year to year, depending on the children's interest. We incorporate math, science, language arts, and fine arts into each theme. The children do play outside everyday. They really enjoy the various activities our playground lends itself to as well as the hideout and nature trails just outside of the playground.

Children arrive from kindergarten shortly after 11:00. Some children arrive on the school bus and some are dropped off by their parents. They have a free choice time in which to unwind from their morning and to connect with their friends from other schools. After lunch they have a time for rest or quiet activities. They spend the afternoon doing projects, having a story time and, of course, outdoor play.

There is a family pot luck in late September. This is a wonderful opportunity for families to get to know each other. The highlight of the Green Room year comes in the spring when the Center hosts the annual Field Day event. This is a graduation of sorts for the Green Roomers, some of whom have been enrolled at the Center since infancy.
