Dandelion is a play based cooperative nursery school. Parents share in the operation of the school and are actively involved in their child’s learning. Dandelion’s teachers provide leadership as they model developmentally appropriate practice, curriculum, and their skilled, loving support of the children. Together, parents and teachers form a close community, committed to fostering healthy growth and development in each child.
Preschool children are active learners who construct their own knowledge as they interact with materials, peers and adults. At Dandelion, children pursue active learning through group activities and have ample time and space individual exploration. Dandelion’s classroom is open, spacious and comfortable. We have carefully created areas for privacy or group play, and a wide variety of choices are always available including art, manipulatives, dramatic play, blocks, music, science and books. We also have a wonderful outside classroom that has space for large motor activities and contains a flourishing garden.
