  6. What is emphasized in the program? 

    • The program provides children with a well-rounded early education, emphasizing fine arts. Throughout the school year, we will introduce children to a wide variety of topics and interests, building off of what children are interested in to best fit the educational needs and styles of each individual child and the group. We also believe fine arts is a great foundation for a well-rounded education as the arts stimulate creativity and provide an opportunity for learning, not just in an academic sense, but also the social-emotional skills of leadership, friendship, teamwork, and self-love. As such, the program will also emphasize incorporating activities based around dancing, yoga, music, drawing, painting and acting.

  7. What are your guiding philosophies?

    • A guiding philosophy in Early Childhood Education is to look at the student as a whole and have them lead their learning. We provide students the opportunity to experience the world for themselves by nurturing them through carefully formulated learning activities. Our learning areas focus on art, literacy, science, and mathematics, as well as developmental areas of growth such as gross/fine motor, language, social/emotional, cognitive logic, and reasoning skills. We believe in using observational data collected from children in play to inform curriculum planning that will best cater to each child and the group as a whole. Our aim is to prepare them for Kindergarten and life in an elementary setting. 

  8. What are your days off? Will you align with the Pullman School District Calendar?

    • Our first day of school will be Tuesday September 6th.  After that we will align tightly to the Pullman School District Calendar for school holidays (see HERE for details) If the Pullman schools close due to snow or other natural causes, we will also close.

  10. Where is the preschool going to be? 

    • Our preschool will take place within Sanctuary’s studio. Inside the studio, we have designed a welcoming classroom dedicated solely for our preschool students to explore and learn. We also have access to over 6,000 sq feet of world class facility for larger group activities. Our goal is to also use the outdoors and surrounding community for further learning and exploration via periodic outings to nearby Reaney Park and field trips.
