Leafspring School At Geist

LeafSpring School offers.Early childhood education LeafSpring School® early childhood programs include nursery school, preschool and private kindergarten for children from birth up to age five. LeafSpring School offers a proprietary curriculum called PLAYWORKS©, which is based on state standards of learning. We take a comprehensive and developmental approach to early childhood education and provide each child with the foundation for future educational success.School-age recreation programs Through LeafSpring School, we offer a creative curriculum geared specifically towards the needs of older children. We know that, developmentally, school-age children are more content in their own space away from the young children, so the afterschool program is housed in a separate wing of our building. LeafSpring School offers programs both after-school and Camp Blue Sky summer programs.Emergency backup The Get Well Place®, an infirmary for mildly ill children, is unique to LeafSpring School and to the communities it serves. The Get Well Place is one of only approximately 300 emergency backup facilities in the United States.Programs for children with learning challenges Using a team approach, experts from the community, parents, and LeafSpring School teachers and nurses work together to maximize each child's learning potential through individualized educational interventions.Care for children with chronic or special health needs Currently, children with medical needs represent approximately ten percent of the enrolled student population. Depending on their medical condition and the required level of nursing supervision, we admit children with special needs directly to the classroom or to the Get Well Place.
