The
Arts experiences will include various types of “arts” media including:
clay, paint, color mixing, collage, construction, light/shadow, etc… This class emphasizes art that is child led and child produced.
Science
investigations will explore
concepts of: “How Can I Make it
Move? How Can I Make it Change? And How Does it Fit, or how do I Fit?” Experiences
include: animal/insect observations and
interactions, exploring the sense of taste, construction, water discovery, and
other investigations designed to teach understanding and appreciation for the
natural world.
The Wonder Studio offers experiences
that are multi-sensory, “messy”, and open-ended. Each class includes a circle time with
stories, songs, and puppetry. Learning
experiences will be documented and reflected upon through the Wonder Studio

What is the Wonder
Studio?
The
wonder studio is a play place for the youngest learners. Children (ages 18 mos. and up) will participate in a broad range of
developmentally appropriate experiences.
These experiences include a loving parent or caregiver who is dedicated
to joining his/her child in discovery and exploration.
At
The Wonder Studio…children will have repeated scientific opportunities to
strengthen their disposition for curiosity, creativity, and co-learning. Adults will gain an understanding of
non-traditional approaches to chemistry, physics, biology, and ecology for the
youngest children.
Children will discover the joys of working with one another
through full-bodied arts investigations.
Caregivers will develop an understanding for using the arts as a tool
for thinking in guiding their young child’s development.
These classes are inspired by the pre-schools of Reggio-Emilia,
Italy and the studio incorporates ideas from Waldorf, Bev Bos, and Gardner’s
theory of Multiple Intelligences.
The Wonder
Studio classes provide children with experiences that are: multi-sensory, messy, process oriented and open-ended.
All
classes include songs, finger plays, stories, and puppetry.
Shannon Lipan has a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education from the
University of Florida. She taught at
Shorecrest Preparatory School for 6 years and has been the Owner and teacher at
The Wonder Studio for 4 years. Inspired
by the schools of Reggio Emilia , Italy , Shannon
believes that children learn best through meaningful, hands-on
experiences. She will provide an
environment that allows children to have opportunities for repeated
problem-solving experimentation.
