Wings Classrooms
Wobblers
Ages 1-2, Ratio 1:5
Weekly Nature Walks
Every classroom is encouraged to go on weekly nature walks to improve a child's relationship to nature. Caregivers and kids alike love to be outside as much as possible! The wobblers especially love their wagon and stroller rides!
Morning Circle Time
Wobblers participate in a daily circle time to talk about the weather, what they'll be doing that day, wiggle their bodies to some music, and encourage language building! This is a great time to bond together as peers!
Outdoor Learning Time
Every classroom, including the wobblers, play outside as much as possible. During this time, wobs explore their outside world with teachers by participating in fun, nature-based activities!
Toddlers
Ages 2-3, Ratio 1:7
Planting Seeds
Toddlers enjoy learning about the growing world in many ways. One activity they love to do is plant seeds every Spring. They also love talking about what plants need to grow and how they can work together to care for another living thing.
Smelling the Flowers
On their weekly nature walks, toddlers love to stop any chance they get to count bugs, pick up unique sticks/rocks, and of course, smell the flowers! This teaches them how to interact with their world all while growing their social-emotional skills!
Exploring the Pond
Much like all classrooms, the toddlers explore our nearby pond under direct supervision to learn about other animals and their babies. Our students love going on nature walks to the pond to discover new creatures and to even throw rocks!
Preschool
Ages 3-5, Ratio 1:8
Outdoor Circle Time
Preschoolers come together every morning for in indoor or outdoor circle time. During this time, preschoolers learn about working together, how to solve problems, what's going on outside, weather patterns, and what kind of activities they'll be doing!
Music & Movement
Every classroom participates in daily music and movement activities, but the preschoolers especially love this time! They are encouraged to move their bodies in new and unique ways as well as familiar ways. They also get to sing songs together, play musical instruments, and dance!
Outdoor Learning Time
Preschoolers have their own large outdoor playground with different climbing materials to practice their gross motor skills. Preschoolers are outside as much as possible and participate in many nature-based activities such as river crafting and boat floating!
Coming Soon - fall 2024!
Wings is adding an infant and prekinder classroom!
Wings is stepping up to the challenge to help meet the high need for childcare slots in Pagosa Springs. In the fall of 2024, we will open up an infant room - licensed for 6-week-olds up to 12 months, and add a prekinder room for 4-5-year-olds. This expansion will also include a full kitchen, giving us the ability to further provide healthy meals for children attending Wings!
