“No other curriculum allows children to learn and play, diving headlong into experiential learning from an early age. When you are allowed to splash, climb, dig, and explore at 3 years old, you build the curiosity and stamina needed to thrive at a desk, be it in 2nd grade, 12th grade or the workplace.” —CLWS Alumni Parent

Come and celebrate Nature Everywhere Day at CLWS on Saturday, May 17, from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm! Outdoor play is an essential part of our curriculum, and we’re looking forward to giving you a window into our days. We’ll have a variety of nature-themed activities happening both indoors and out, and our classrooms and play yard will be open for free play.
CLWS Early Childhood Programs
Our Early Childhood programs provide a time of gentle and joyful transition from home to school. In our warm, home-like atmosphere, your child’s inherent abilities can unfold through a curriculum that values free play, healthy movement, and generous outdoor time. We believe that the experience of rich, imaginative play in early childhood guides children toward becoming free, creative thinkers and decision makers throughout their lives.
