Alpha students learn life skills

Like the importance of washing our hands

And cleaning up after ourselves.

How to listen

And work together.

Learning is experiential and fun in the Alpha Classes.

The children use many art materials in a wide variety of ways, independently and with help when appropriate.

They learn by planting seeds in cups, then transferring them to the garden.

Tactile experiences with different substances promotes learning about textures, properties and even measurement.
