Winter Holiday traditions are always such a joyful celebration of community! This year, we are learning about Hanukkah, Yule, and Christmas and the ways in which communities of people celebrate in similar ways as well as traditions that are unique to each holiday.

Today, we spent time together creating wreaths of evergreens! Evergreens often represent life through the cold winter and rebirth. They bring warmth into our spaces and remind us that after the winter, spring is coming!

The children enjoyed working together to create beautiful representations of holiday magic!!

ONE WHOLE YEAR OF THE BRADLEY STREET PLAYSCHOOL!!

Can you believe it?! I find myself overwhelmed by the blessing it is to watch these little minds and hearts learn and grow each day. It has been a year of growth for all of us- often messy, occasionally stressful, always full of promise.

Happy Anniversary friends! We are so thankful for your support and to be in community with you. 💙💙💙

🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️It was such a wonderful day for a roundel and a fairy song!

The first day of summer is fantastic for celebrating all of our friends with summer birthdays- with a fairy themed festival!

We loved seeing all the fairies dancing in our yard, playing with bubbles, and tasting fairy cakes and fruit. Happy solstice and birthdays, friends!! 🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️

One thing you will rarely see here on Bradley Street is a weekly specific theme. Because we are a child-led school, we prefer to focus on children’s interests- which are meaningful to them and more encouraging of their attention.

This often takes the form of project approaches in our classrooms. Child-led projects encourage intrinsic motivation and draw children into deep inquiry. This process helps children find answers to their own questions through authentic, age appropriate exploration and experiences. We work with the children to document their findings and commentary to create reflective and respectful evidence of our learning.

Please enjoy a peek into several of our recent projects throughout our classrooms! We love to love learning together. 💙💙
