Play is a child’s work. Purposeful play allows them to learn not only what they need to know in kindergarten, but many things that will allow them to become happy and healthy adults — language, confidence, independence, problem solving, social skills, building relationships, executive functioning, self regulation and academic skills through hands on exploration!
The curriculum at SSDS is designed around themes that are of interest to young children — such as animals, outer space, seasonal changes, things that go, families & friendship, nature, the 5 senses…or whatever a particular class may fancy! Teachers take into consideration the interest of children with the understanding that each child is unique and learns at his or her own pace. We want SSDS students to leave here feeling confident, able to express feelings, and make friends.
Each themed-based unit includes:
Our daily programs provide:
(each class gets at least an hour of outdoor time, often times more)
**Snack & lunch are provided by the family during our Core Program. If you child stays for Little University, SSDS will provide a snack.**

These special classes are offered monthly or bi-monthly and are taught by our very talented specials teachers, who visit the classes and introduce the students to more in-depth concepts or activities in their specialty.
