LITTLE FRIENDS LEARNING LOFT
Welcome!
Welcome to Little Friends Learning Loft at Newburgh JCC where we encourage imaginative play and child-led learning through the Montessori method. We promote experiential learning and outdoor play utilizing sand, gardening, the playground and grassy areas. We introduce literacy, early phonics, numbers and letters. We practice motor skills, explore life cycles and nourish a spiritual sense of wonder and respect for our natural world and its inhabitants. We create and craft in the art house and dance in the studio. In inclement weather, children play in our gym to promote physical wellness. Providing these introductions and promoting a self-paced learning environment will encourage autonomy and character development.
Our Mission
Our intentional and nurturing environment is founded on the Montessori principles of hands-on learning, self-discovery, cooperation and independence. The multi-age (3-6 age) group benefits apply to all; younger children learn by observing their older classmates and older children gain the satisfaction and confidence that comes from providing support and encouragement.
Years 1,2 and 3 are designed to help students reach multiple tiers of educational, social and emotional goals at a pace befitting each individual learner. At Little Friends Learning Loft, we are all passionate about providing a safe setting that ensures peace, empathy and compassion. Respect is modeled, taught and practiced.
