    Expanding Knowledge in Early Childhood Development

    We are a Childcare Center for ages 6

    weeks to 6 years. We are a teaching

    based center and offer pre-school

    curriculum concept that starts as early as

    our Infant class.

    Our curriculum provides an introduction to

    basic learning skills, fine arts and physical

    education through developmentally appro-

    priate experiences.Language Arts focus on phonics and letter

    recognition as well as vocabulary and verbal

    skills.

    The children learn mathematics by the

    recognition of numbers and their concrete

    value versus mere counting. Working with

    colors, textures, shapes and sizing activities

    develops visual discrimination.

    Fine Arts encourage their creative skills

    through various art mediums, music, litera-

    ture, movement and play.

    Physical education such as dance, sports,balancing, and outside activities on our

    enclosed playground supports gross motor

    development.

    Fine motor skills are developed in their

    hands through various activities such as

    bead stringing, pegboards, sewing, puzzles,

    and nuts and bolts.

    Our staff is degreed in Early Childhood

    Education and CPR and First Aid certified.

    They are loving, caring, talented and nurtur-

    ing individuals who are concerned with

    each childs social, emotional, physical andintellectual development. Each one contin-

    ues to expand their knowledge by attending

    workshops and other forms of continuing

    education programs focused on the ever

    changing needs of families and Early Child-

    hood Development.

    During our summer month we offer field

    trips and fun activities that continue to

    promote learning while giving the children a

    break from a traditional learning setting.

    At Tallgrass, students decide for themselves how to spend their days. Our

    philosophy, which includes democratic governance and age mixing (5-19),

    is supported by research and built on trust, freedom, and responsibility.

    We use a student-centered, organic approach to learning. On a typical

    day, students might be engaged in sewing, learning Japanese, reading,

    roller skating, going for walks, cooking, or just hanging out together. In a

    setting in which students are free to make their own choices, they become

    independent, trustworthy, and responsible.

    Heres what Tallgrass students and parents have to say about the school:

    You dont have to eat at only one time. You can talk to your friendswhenever you want. Student, age 6

    You are challenged to think for yourself and you are challengedwith the charge of responsibility for your own choices.

    Tallgrass graduate

    Our daughter has learned how to manage conflict in a healthy andindependent way. What most children passively learn in school,my daughter has learned at Tallgrass as by products of her activeparticipation in life. Tallgrass parent

    We like that our daughter [age 6] is able to work on projects/goalsat her own pace, and is truly proud of herself when she completes

    them. We like that she is seen as an equal to the adult staff and isable to engage in conversation with them.
