SCHOOL CALENDAR/EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

Winnetuxet Children’s Place follows a public school calendar, coinciding with Halifax Elementary School and The Silver Lake Regional School System with regard to vacations, holidays and emergency weather closings such as snow days, power outages and flood conditions. The difference is in our opening/closing dates and professional days.

Because of loss of heat , water and emergency systems during a power outage or in case of a fire, parents and/or emergency contact designees would be immediately notified to pick up all enrolled children present. Every effort would be make to keep children comfortable until their departure.

The school reserves the right to close mid-day in the event of weather emergencies.

A complete school calendar will be provided at the beginning of each school year specifying days and dates of anticipated closings.

Curriculum & Philosophy

Curriculum includes imaginative play, nature science, arts & crafts, basic academic skill exposure, music, creative dramatics & literature based on 2-3 week long units of study. Both traditional and non-traditional subjects are encompassed. We include a children's author study and cultural unit each year.

Individual activities and collective experiences are designed to challenge each child at her/his own developmental level, encourage participation and a strong, secure sense of community.

We strongly believe that learning is a natural out-growth of exploration. We have designed our program as a place where children can explore and discover through social connections, play, projects, manipulative engagement, sensory stimulation, pre-academic skill exposure and circle time activities. It has been our experience that academic achievement in later years comes most easily to children who have a firm grounding in concrete play experiences.
