Additionally, all of our WSMS classrooms offer a well-developed art area, including an easel, prepared shelf works, and a supply of media and tools that are arranged cafeteria style for self-directed projects.

Teachers help children discover their own independence and self-care abilities. Environments are designed for children to gain mastery of food preparation and feeding. Teachers in both multi-age classrooms and the Twos program participate in mealtimes rather than simply monitoring feeding, model appropriate lessons of grace and courtesy and encourage conversation between children. Community is further established throughout the day during work time. Children are free to work together, and are not limited by a number dictated by teachers for each material. The bathroom environment is prepared to allow children as much independence in the process of toileting as possible.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.

This assists children to find comfort in their new environment, as they navigate separation from parents and caregivers in the first days of school. Duplos, puzzles, and other small manipulatives dominate the offerings. Children are gently introduced to the process of preparing work for the next child by teacher direction and modeling. With this repetition, children become acclimated to the cycle of activity in the classroom; eventually, more multi-step activities and some materials that are included in the early childhood environments are introduced.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ozlo6d-45d28b4ec89699f81cb6692f6faab802\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-ozlo6d-45d28b4ec89699f81cb6692f6faab802{\nmargin-top:-30px;\nheight:1px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-ozlo6d-45d28b4ec89699f81cb6692f6faab802 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-26  el_after_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-last '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_5'  class='avia-section av-o8vitx-7dfae693a5479eff79105d5ade501bb0 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-shadow  avia-builder-el-27  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-5893'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m6rwvp-378b9cb5be5465740ecfc44bd77aa73b\">\n.flex_column.av-m6rwvp-378b9cb5be5465740ecfc44bd77aa73b{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-m6rwvp-378b9cb5be5465740ecfc44bd77aa73b av_one_half  avia-builder-el-28  el_before_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kv1lb9-2271ae2b70c79c112097e90d9ecda272\">\n.avia-image-container.av-kv1lb9-2271ae2b70c79c112097e90d9ecda272 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-kv1lb9-2271ae2b70c79c112097e90d9ecda272 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-kv1lb9-2271ae2b70c79c112097e90d9ecda272 av-styling- avia_animated_image av-animated-when-visible-95 fade-in avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-29  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-5969 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-5969 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/wsmsnyc.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/twosmusic.jpg\" alt='' title='twosmusic'  height=\"550\" width=\"1000\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wsmsnyc.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/twosmusic.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/wsmsnyc.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/twosmusic-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wsmsnyc.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/twosmusic-768x422.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wsmsnyc.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/twosmusic-705x388.jpg 705w, https:\/\/wsmsnyc.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/twosmusic-450x248.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-iuokg5-bf29ed0701f0ed7e46f366c55c01ae45 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-30  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_hr  flex_column_div  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-hx75dx-dadf46f4ba0d879bef751ace3e696586\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-hx75dx-dadf46f4ba0d879bef751ace3e696586 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:16px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-hx75dx-dadf46f4ba0d879bef751ace3e696586 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Music and movement are daily and integral parts of gathering times, offering an irresistible invitation to join together.
