This last Thursday, I went on a small day trip with a lovely bunch of fine arts individuals from Brownell to a Private School in Kansas City-Pembroke. The goal was to observe and check out educational procedures in the 21st Century of learning styles, Pembroke being the closest leader in Independent Schools to us. While the group visited middle and upper school, I had the pleasure of spending my whole day in the Early Childhood department. A lovely circular building with love and light radiating throughout the hallways in the lit of child's laughter, the pen and ink drawings of life arranged on the walls with the utmost respect for design, and clay sculptures with a view that only comes from a child's eye of imagination. The school's belief on education for their youngest learners stems from the Project Approach where every part of their day is a learning experience expertly through play. The following pictures are my favorite images from my day.
Only in Preschool can you find pots of watercolors and glitter paper in buckets
"Doll Tents" made of colored tape and molding clay my sunlight.
Lunch consisted of the "best BBQ in KC" which happened to be housed in a gas station!
A multi-purpose room full of color and materials, clay sculptures of Cicada's gracing the hallways.
