“Children are the heart of our program. At Trust Early Learners, educators plan with intention to embed learning in meaningful and lasting ways. ”
Our Culinary Program with Chef Susan – TEL’s resident chef – provides all students with a morning meal and a 3-course lunch daily, which takes place over a 1-hour period with children and educators. Children practice pacing and manners using real silverware and dishware. Social interaction and learning, in addition to delicious, fresh, and nutritionally balanced food, are central to our program.
Culinary Program
Meals vary and include cultural and ethnic dishes which may be part of units in the classrooms. Chef Susan also engages in lessons with the children about various culinary topics. These have included spice smelling, radish, carrot, squash and pepper tastings, preparation of eggs, and growing and trying different herbs.
Students at TEL spend time in the School’s Library each week, with our Artist in Residence in the Makerspace, and working on gross motor and sensory activities in the indoor Sensory Gym. A musician visits the classrooms and engages with the children in music and movement. Specialists assist educators in supporting children’s gross and fine motor skills, and speech development.
