COVID-19 Update
Last Updated Jan 10, 2021
We have made the decision that after the holiday break, we will temporarily switch to fully remote learning for all our classes. This will continue through at least the MLK Day break (Mon, Jan 18). We hope to be able to return to in-person learning shortly thereafter but it will depend upon the current conditions and recommendations from public health authorities. Current Field Station families should watch their email for the latest updates.
Following the recommendations of many scientists and public health authorities, we are fully embracing the outdoor school model as a way to minimize the risk to our community while continuing to provide vital early childhood education. Field Station Preschool has always kept nature at the center of our curriculum, taking every opportunity to get kids outside hiking, playing, and exploring. Now we are taking that even further, committing to be outside all day, every day, with very limited exceptions for extreme weather. We have expanded our outdoor classroom spaces, added more equipment, installed canopies, and modified lesson plans, all to be able to provide the same top quality education outside. In cases where severe weather temporarily forces us inside, everyone will be masked at all times and socially distanced as much as possible.
Additionally, we have implemented a wide range of new safety protocols, including increased cleaning, daily wellness and temperature checks, and limited in-class parent volunteering. Please see the current version of our Safe Operating Plan, Updated Oct 20 for more details and guidance for parents. Of course, the situation is fluid, and we expect to continuously update our plan as conditions change. We sincerely appreciate your support and understanding during these unprecedented times.
Our 2020-2021 Academic Calendar is also available.
A few of our classes currently have openings for the 2020-21 school year. Class availability does fluctuate throughout the year, so please act quickly to secure your child's place now! Please email Christine (registration@fieldstationkids.org) for more information.
Stay safe!
