A day in the life of a preschooler

I really believe that the school my son gose to is awsome. Everything that gose into that place is from total love and understanding of childrens wants and needs. Here are some pictures from today at preschool. Just my son mostly because I don't have permission to post others children. It's a whimsical place.
At the entrance of the school tehre are plants to smell and a garden to wander through with child sized trails. and holes and windows to peek through.

In the treehouse loft built ontop the school these boys are playing bowling.
All the toys are really origional and eather wooden or metal...nothing there is plastic at all. It's kind a cool.

My son does this when he first gets there everyday. Mixes the colors and dumps water etc...sometimes he gets baking soda and vinigar and mud and makes me "food"

 

Up in the treehouse there are tubings that connect all over the place downstairs by the playground you can talk to people through them fromm all over the place. heres my son takin goff his muddy socks to drop on a nearby teacher


Making the lake bigger
and bigger....


I helped this little girl catch these ladybugs then they started humping in her cup she thought it was so cool that they were giving each other a piggy back ride and showed everyone Heres mason trying to help

 

I love the t-shirt.
Check out the signature.

 

Lucky kids! Wish I went to that kinda preschool!

 

awww, this is precious.

 

dude! thats imagination paradise. so fucking hands on. pulls at my heart strings!!! sometimes i wish i could rewind.

 

It looks like a great school! Your baby is getting SOOOOOO big now. Now, if I could figure out how to post pix, y'all can see what my baby Sage looks like.

Good job, Applespark. He looks like he is having a cool time.

 

You cannot rewind but you can give yourself permission to feel fun like you did when you were a child. Doing things like making a fort or playing in sand...

 

If you need help posting pics I can help

 

Those are wonderful. (I remember my preschool... they used to lock us in a room and make us sew Levis Jeans for 16 hours a day.) Your son is one lucky, happy tyke!

 

it looks like a fun place!

 

wow thats such an awesome school! my mom sent me to a Waldorf preeschool.. it kinda reminds me of that! i loved it. but then i went to good ol' public school.. hey its way cheaper.. lol

mason rocks, hes so freakin adorable. hes my favorite little boy i've never met

 

It isnt waldorf but they have a "big school" next door that has brought the same ideas into a school for kids after the preschool so they can continue learning the same way. A lot of kids from there go to eatehr regular schools or homeschool or some go to the "big school" its a non profit place runned by parents and teachers with unique philosophies of it's own.

 

That looks like a neat school, loving and caring.

I was just reading a thread in another room on Hip Forums about a 5-year old girl in Florida who was handcuffed by the police at her kindergarten for misbehaving. What a difference there is between two schools.

shaggie thats really disgusting to hear. At our school we use that kind of crap to our advantage as a symbol of how NOT to treat children. I'll speak for myself I guess...but I find that disturbing. Peopel don't know how to treat kids these days...as if they are not human or something....like they are dumb.

 

Good to hear you found a nice school. It looks like an earthy place, lots of plants and things. It teaches children respect for the environment, even though they might not be aware of it at a young age.

This school looks awesome. I wish Dakota went to a place like that. He's in a private place now with only 3 kids. But the women seems a little ditzy. I'm not sure what all they do during the day. Occasionally he brings home paintings and I know they go outside every day. Other than that I don't know how he spends 8 hours a day. He's learned such wonderful skills such as how to spit when he doesn't get his way and how to turn everything into a gun, even your finger if you don't have any thing else. At this first day care center he learned how to get his arm broken in two places. So this one is an improvement.

Oh well. He is learning at home. Last night he learned how to say, "Bad cop, No Gonut". He just can't get that d out yet.

hahaha gonut hehe

 

I went to a great pre-school. But that has to be the coolest I have ever seen.

 

It's never too late to have a happy childhood!
