Developmental Ages and Stages

Our TOTS and TWO’S  ( 18M – 2.5 ) are the very beginning of the fun at school.

LET THE GROWING AND LEARNING BEGIN!

After feeling safe and secure they are anxious to participate.

Holding a cork in hand and dipping it into the paint and then making a big SPLAT right on the tree ! A big laugh – and then let’s do it all over again!

…until the next distraction takes them on  to a new adventure!

Our PRESCHOOL ( 2.5 – 3.5  ) are developing the

fine motor skills necessary to pin point

just what they want to do!

THESE TREES ARE GROWING LOTS OF NEW LEAVES!

Tiny fingerprints scatter over ready branches.

Leaves can be on the tree or falling to the ground.

Each tree has its own personality just like our friends!

Our PRE KINDERGARTEN ( 3.5-4.0 ) are strong and capable learners!

Their fine motor skills now allow them to not only create the shape of a tree, but also to do so in a flowing, more natural way.

THEY CAN PICTURE THE TREE IN THIER MINDS!

The children give thought to the placementof their leaves as their sense of aesthetics grows.

These children are  starting preparations for kindergarten learning skills.

Our TK ( 4.0+ ) are the biggest kids at Growing Tree!

Using the medium of crayon resist, their fine motor skills and sense of color come together to create a fall sunset backround.

BOTH ROOTS AND WINGS HAVE DEVELOPED!

These trees are rooted in the ground and have arranged branches reaching up

through layers of earth and sky.

All of our Growing Tree’s  are reaching for the sky as the limit!
