Big KIN
The original KIN is located at 1006 Broad Street. The original KIN is sometimes referred to as “Big KIN” to distinguish it from the KIN, too facility. Big KIN functions as two classrooms: The Garden Class and The Forest Class.
Our program fosters social, cognitive, physical and emotional development through a rich and varied curriculum based on the natural sciences. A multi-aged setting with warm, stable relationships ensures that we can nurture and attend to each child in a thoughtful way. Meal times invite opportunities for great conversation, as well as self-help skills. Each day our children draw on resources and opportunities that include art, language arts, fine and gross motor activities, math and sciences. Our activities are responsive to children’s developmental needs and supportive of cooperative problem solving skills. We offer both teacher-guided activities and ample time for important child-directed play.
