A day at Park Street Academy begins in "Cubby Cove" where you and your child will greet friends and store belongings.  From here, it's quick good-byes as children head off to start their day.  Children are greeted and welcomed into their home-base classroom by their teachers.

The school day starts with "Circle Time," a time to discuss matters of importance, share thoughts and plan the day.  Daily circle time activities include the alphabet, numbers, shapes, calendar and weather.  Song and movement are used to express and reinforce these concepts. There's plenty of room in the hallway for kids to travel to different theme classrooms throughout the day.

 

Students may have a science lesson in Newton's Orchard, our science center, or create an arts and crafts project in Picasso's Place.   Imagination Station, our dramatic play area, provides an opportunity to role-play grown-up jobs as well as explore their world through the art of pretend.

 

 

Learning Lab is the perfect place for cutting, drawing, puzzles and other manipulative toys and activities that help to develop fine motor skills. Our Computer Room has nine Macintosh computers and is filled with plenty of educational software. Structured physical activities and free play take place in our spacious, fenced-in play yard, or in Jellystone Park, our multi-purpose room. Jellystone is also the location of special school events and afternoon enrichment programs such as music, gymnastics and dance. After all this excitement, children sit down together to eat lunch and socialize. Those who stay for the afternoon may rest or nap. The remainder of the day is filled with organized games, free play, computers, story time and Kids' Clubs!

Parents are encouraged to read about their child's day on the "Today We" boards in the hallway.
