Part Day (PK/TK):
– 20 hours of high quality care and instruction/coaching focusing on social emotional skills, but all areas of development in a natural setting on a farm with animals, garden, creek, and grasslands!
– Fun, engaging activities that are tailored to the needs and interests of your child and group!
– Use of research based methods that encourage safe risk taking while exploring nature and animals with same age peers!
– Individualized feedback at the end of the week from staff regarding your child’s strengths and needs and recommendations/resources to support their growth.
– Daily interaction with same age peers and animals that support safety, awareness, regulation, learning, and engagement. There are no more than 10 children in a group. Animal engagement is at their level of comfortability.
– $485/20 hours= $24.25/hr. I know some babysitters get paid this! For the professional level of staffing that you are getting for the week, I would say that is worth it!
