Lead by an experienced teacher, Ms. Tara Monaghan, children will explore nature, build motor skills, language and socialization within a safe and nurturing space. Age-appropriate songs, stories and games will be shared during our morning circle, after which we will enjoy a light snack of homemade bread, butter and sliced apples.<br /> <br />With gentle guidance, children and their parents or caregivers will learn new skills, and parents will have time for open discussions with the support of Waldorf-inspired parenting articles.<br /> <br />Families are invited to bring a blanket to sit on and a water bottle for your child. You may also bring your preferred method of hand washing. The teacher will have wipes and sanitizer available as well.</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: black; min-width: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody class="mcnImageBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnImageBlockInner" style="padding: 9px;" valign="top"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnImageContent" style="padding: 0px 9px; text-align: center;" valign="top"><img align="center" alt="" class="mcnImage" src="https://mcusercontent.com/ca22c9ab92118e216697dd0f8/images/f337fa59-e6d6-42c8-8af5-f5fb61562f7e.jpg" style="border-bottom-left-radius: 0%; border-bottom-right-radius: 0%; border-top-left-radius: 0%; border-top-right-radius: 0%; border: 0px; display: inline; height: auto; max-width: 800px; outline: none; padding-bottom: 0px; vertical-align: bottom;" width="564" /><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><a href="https://schools.mybrightwheel.com/sign-in?redirect_path=forms/a290b922-ea05-430f-abc9-923b7a0f49cc/self-service" target="_blank">REGISTER HERE FOR PARENT/CAREGIVER-CHILD</a><br /><br /></span></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: black; min-width: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody class="mcnTextBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnTextBlockInner" style="padding-top: 9px;" valign="top"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; max-width: 100%; min-width: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnTextContent" style="color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px 18px 9px; word-break: break-word;" valign="top"><span style="color: green;"><span style="font-size: 24px;"><strong>Nursery Drop-off Class – children ages 2.5 to 3.5 years</strong></span></span><br />Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM<br /> <br />Enroll in 6-week sessions<br /><br />First session:<br />Monday, Sept. 13 - Friday, Oct. 22<br />$650 for the session + $25 registration fee<br /> <br />Meeting at the Margaret Corbin Circle entrance to Fort Tryon Park<br /> <br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 18pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica;">This class provides a loving bridge for children between the Child-Parent/Caregiver class and our older forest day class, but the Child – Parent/Caregiver class is not a prerequisite for nursery. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 18pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 18pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica;">Like in preschool, children explore, play, and imagine outdoors for the entire morning.

We enjoyed a lovely afternoon with our community at the Harvest Festival. We are proud to be one of the many sponsors of the event and thank the volunteers for their hard work to put together a wonderful festival! The kids enjoyed stringing wooden beads for their necklaces, and we were happy to see familiar and new faces.</div>

We are very excited about this development (after years of hard work) and are delighted to be sharing space with our wonderful neighbors at the Collegiate Church.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">As a brief introduction, The Wooden Button is a small, one classroom preschool with a group of about 12 children with 2 teachers. Families choose to enroll their children either 2 or 4 days per week. The days and hours are Monday through Thursday 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">The Wooden Button follows the Waldorf philosophy, which is based on the physical development of the child. During the morning we have undirected play, a creative or practical activity at the table, movement circle followed by rest with story. Then snack, which the children have helped prepare, and outdoor time during the last hour. The focus of the children's play inside as well as outside is their imagination, creating their own worlds.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">We have limited space available in the Tuesday/Thursday program, so if you’re interested in learning more, please send an inquiry to thewoodenbutton@gmail.com.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Warmly,</span><br />

<br />
Our apologies that new information hasn't been added to our site in a long time. We have been working on some exciting changes for The Wooden Button that we hope to tell you about soon!<br />
<br />
Last school year (2015-16) we held beautiful home school program as we searched for a new space to house our permanent school. This year (2016-17) we have begun as a home school with the hope of opening our permanent space sometime during the year.<br />
<br />
If you would like to be added to our mailing list to receive news about The Wooden Button, including potential openings for new students this year and next, please send an inquiry to thewoodenbutton@gmail.com.<br />
<br />
Our warmest wishes,<br />
<br />
Iggy Keuchenius and The Wooden Button Team<br />
<br />
