Ahoy, mateys!

Daily activities include:

  • Play-based dramatic storytelling
  • Music
  • Crafts
  • Outdoor play
  • Free choice time to nurture social and emotional learning, friendship and imagination

At the end of the week, students will perform a final show for their families theatre-in-the-park style at Skinner Park, 1331 W. Adams St.
