At Yorkland Preschool, the environment is carefully prepared to create an atmosphere of inspiration for learning. Our classroom is a beautiful and inviting place filled with soft colors, flowing play silks, and a nature table with items that the children have collected outside. A wood table surrounded by little peeled-rottan chair sits next to a large round rug where the children gather for stories, songs, and puppetry. Our natural play yard has its own fantastic appeal, filled with big trees, an organic garden, and lots of natural wood climbing structures and sand play area.
Situated along side of the play yard, our pet animals like rabbit and turtles are also part of this outdoor experience. Along that, we have fish pond just beside our rain water catchment.
Following natural rhythms of the day, the week, and the festivals, our teachers engage in practical and artistic activities which the children emulate in their play.
Throughout the day, teachers beckon the children with song as they move gracefully in and out of organized activities (such as baking bread drawing or water colour painting) and free play, all the while honoring the importance of the child’s play as child’s work. Throughout the week, each day has a different cooking served for lunch. Every season is marked with a festival and the stories and games carry appropriate seasonal themes of animals hibernating or characters blossoming and changing.
Out of joyful and enthusiastic activity, the children have the opportunity to develop capacities of imagination and creativity, along with a sense of wonder, reverence, and compassion for humanity and our earth. Family life is nurtured as well, with ongoing parent support and festival celebrations offered both in and out of school hours.
At Yorkland all the waste we utilizes it to be compost preparations in our compost bin to heal the soil and lunar and planetary rhythms to coordinate planting and harvesting. The organic perspective sees the farm ultimately becoming a self-sustaining organism where plants, animals, and human beings thrive in an environment of balance. The children are part of the balance that is created here.
Their enthusiasm for seeing the plants and animals grow stimulates the livelihood of the garden as a whole. The garden at Yorkland with the inception of the school and continues to grow with plans for rotational grazing pastures more on garden beds.
