Opportunities and Curriculum

On any given day Green Tree classes can be found all over Seattle taking advantage of the wonderful opportunities the city has to offer. From the time the children are toddlers, teachers take them on both planned and impromptu excursions. Our infant room enjoys taking walks around downtown.

Green Tree focuses on nurturing the whole child - heart, body, mind and spirit. The following is a list of just some of the exciting opportunities Green Tree offers to its children:
- fieldtrips (museums, science center, aquarium, zoo)
- outings (Pike Place Market, area parks)
- music and movement classes
- innovative open-ended art experiences,
- anti-bias, cultural awareness
- science and math
- regular visits to the library
- kindergarten readiness

Each classroom teacher uses observation paired with a strong understanding of child development theory to design a curriculum customized to the needs of the children in that class. The lessons and activities emerge with the child. (click here to learn more about the typical curriculum in each classroom)
