Ages 6–8 | 1st Grade-2nd GradeThe Hummingbirds Program
🌿 Building Momentum. Growing Independence.
Hummingbirds are energetic and persistent, constantly moving and learning. Children at this stage are strengthening academic skills while developing greater independence and stamina.
The Hummingbirds Program supports learners as they deepen literacy and math foundations through structured instruction and project-based exploration. Students begin taking more ownership of their work while continuing to learn through collaboration and creativity.
This stage is about building momentum — learning to navigate challenges with agility and confidence.

Hummingbirds Program Classes
Ages 6–8 · 1st–2nd grade. Every class stands on its own or fits together into a full day. Mon/Wed/Fri classes are marked in blue, Tue/Thu in green.
Math Explorers
Builds real number sense through hands-on math games, meaningful problem-solving, and collaborative exploration. Students move beyond memorization to reason flexibly with numbers — adding, subtracting, and beginning to multiply as they measure, sort, and make sense of the world around them.

Team Builders Lab
An active, interdisciplinary STEAM block where students design, build, test, and revise together. Engineering challenges and hands-on science investigations are paired with outdoor movement and cooperative play — developing the collaboration and persistence that carry across every subject.

Songbirds Studio
A school-wide performing-arts ensemble open to ages 6–12, building confidence through theater, storytelling, and expressive movement. Students collaborate on a real production — reading scripts, finding their stage voice, and supporting one another from first rehearsal to final bow.
This is a combined, school-wide class, so enrollment is larger than a standard class and the ratio may exceed our usual 14:1 — additional staff are always present.

Art Around the World
Creative expression meets social studies as young artists explore cultures, traditions, and places around the globe. Students work with diverse materials and techniques while discovering how art tells the story of people, history, and the world we share.
Students explore
Young Chefs Studio
A hands-on culinary studio that blends cooking with math, science, and cultural learning. Students prepare age-appropriate recipes from around the world — measuring, mixing, and following steps safely — and build confidence through the simple joy of preparing and sharing a meal together.
