The most intense period of neuronal development occurs in early childhood. During this time, the brain undergoes rapid growth and development, forming and refining neural connections at an extraordinary rate, and this peaks around the age of three. No longer toddlers, Primary children are consciously absorbing, interacting, manipulating, connecting, experimenting and socializing in a new way. The environment for this new phase, which we prefer to call a studio instead of a classroom, is intentionally designed for children as young as two-and-a-half and through Kindergarten, to maximize this incredible phase of development. Down to the specific shades of colored pencils to the one centimeter progression of a tower of pink blocks there is a science, genius, and purpose behind everything. Children are self-directed artists, scientists, story-tellers, engineers, mathematicians and writers using materials that span the simplest of pre-school activities all the way through activities that cover standards usually associated with second and third grades. With a sense of agency, our Primary friends grow themselves into expressive, courageous, just, intentional, kind and curious people.
