Description

TKG offers outdoor nature-based and social-emotional playgroups for children. TKG is offering this time for children to engage in playful learning and creating, in the outdoors, with peers and a teacher/facilitator. The ratio is 5 students to 1 teacher. The session runs from August 6 through August 27 (4 weeks). The class meets from 1 to 4pm. During their time together, students will be encouraged to play to promote social-emotional well being, explore their creativity, and practice cooperative learning. Recommended for ages 6+ The following protocols will be in place: Do not come to school if you or your child is sick. Teachers will make visual wellness checks and decisions and expect parent support with prompt pick ups. All students will arrive and depart at the same time. No parents within the play group. TKG teachers will be talking to children about COVID and how to manage the protocols including hygiene and sneezing protocols. Student items and learning tools separated as much as possible. Regular hand washing or hand sanitizing. Touchless check in and sanitizing/soap stations In a public space, all should be wearing masks. If a child exhibits signs of illness, they will be comfortable in a space nearby until a parent picks up. Collaboration Guidelines Please arrive on time. If you will not or cannot attend, please let your teacher know before the meeting. If you have been exposed to COVID, please notify TKG admin immediately. Questions are welcome and constructive feedback is encouraged. THE KNOWING GARDEN is a community Elementary school in the South Bay. Located at Temple Menorah in Redondo Beach, our school recognizes humans as natural learners and respects students' rights to collaboration, choice and play. We believe that a project-rich curriculum facilitated by hands-on learning and real-life experiences will prepare our students to be critical thinkers who become lifelong learners and active contributors to the global community. With credentialed teachers, parent participation and low-ratios, our learning plans emerge in partnership with students and families.
