Play and learning extend beyond the indoor classrooms and onto the property’s beachfront, activity field, outdoor classroom, playground, and gardens.

Inside, “choice” centers incorporate games and interactive activities that strengthen foundational skills in social-emotional development, math, language and literacy, science, dramatic and creative play, and fine and gross motor development.

Special seasonal activities include soccer, bike days, sprinkler activities and water play, as well as time at the bay.

Our program emphasizes play, hands-on experiences, and a love of learning by establishing a balance of child-guided and teacher-guided experiences.

Children are encouraged to explore new skills and content at their own pace, allowing them to build confidence and experience the joy of discovery by pursuing their inherent curiosity. Play is also the natural laboratory for early cooperation, conflict resolution, and social skills.

Our teachers know our students as individuals, meeting them where they are, guiding them in their next steps, and kindling in them a lifelong passion for learning, collaboration, and creativity.

Open communication and a spirit of cooperation are foundational to a healthy and harmonious school-home relationship. Teachers regularly solicit and share feedback about a child’s goals and achievements.

The Rollins center also supports children and families by fostering engagement through volunteer opportunities, parent workshops and events, the coordination of any related services, and the facilitation of a smooth transition to kindergarten.
