Shuttle service available - scroll down for details.
This is our youngest full day group! These kiddos engage in meaningful play - all day! Our educators guide and nurture their natural curiosities and help to inspire them to be confident, independent, and kind humans. We facilitate long stretches of child-led, purposeful play & directed inquiry-based activities utilizing our STREAM curriculum (Science, Tools, Reading, Engineering, Art & Math).
This is a 1 day or 2 day program - running on Wednesdays & Thursdays throughout the school year. The day runs from 8:30am - 3:30pm with options for early drop off (7:45am) and late pick up (4:30pm). Children should be comfortable (and prepared) to be outside all day - however, we do have an indoor space available for super cold days and inclement weather.

Lunches & Snacks
Students need to bring their own lunch and snacks. We ask that children bring ‘boomerang lunches’, where students take home all garbage from their lunches.
As part of the learning at GMA, students will be involved in the school garden and foraging in the forest and any harvests collected will be offered from time to time for the children to try or take home. Fireside snacks will also be cooked occasionally as part of our outdoor studies and circle time. If your child has a special dietary need or allergy please let us know. We will be in touch if there are any other students who have food allergies that may result in certain items being banned from all lunches and snacks.
