Morning Creative Program
MON - FRI 8:30am - 12/1:00pm
The Thistlegarten experience provides a safe, cherishing environment where children have fun and learn. Thistlegarten children leave our school happy, healthy, and with great base knowledge and cognitive skills. They also graduate knowing that school is a great place and are excited about Kindergarten.
The morning creative program at Thistlegarten is for children ages 18 mos. to 5 +. It is a warm and fun blend of open play, circle time, and group activities in the cognitive skills. The cooperative environment encourages empathy and appreciation of all. At least six languages are explored with song and sign language, where diverse cultures are celebrated and laughter abounds. Our teachers take great delight in creating unique activities for the children, and every child is encouraged to participate.
The Thistlegarten philosophy embraces much free choice, alternating with structured times and cognitive discoveries. Children learn self control as they sit together and explore projects as a group or as individuals. The Thistlegarten family is warm and comfortable. Your child will love it.
Thistlegarten has a uniquely small teacher-to-child ratio. We spend as much time and energy with our children during play time as we do during structured time. The best way to appreciate Thistlegarten is to come in with your child for a visit. You are always welcome.
