About

Spirit at Play (SAP) Early Child Program, established in 1991, serves children from ages 3 to 5 during the school term and children up to age 9 in the summer program. This non-profit educational program for children has an extended license with the State of Montanas Department of Public Health & Human Services. The school strives to follow the National Association for the Education of Young Childrens (NAEYC) guidelines for early childhood programs. NAEYCs Developmentally Appropriate Practice, Howard Gardners Multiple Intelligences Theory, Reggio Emilia Philosophy, Place-Based Education and the Project Approach are blended and utilized as educational systems for the children enrolled in the program. Spirit at Play is continually working toward being sustainable and the children are being taught sustainable ways to work within the school and the local community to utilize its resources. The School is committed to providing early childhood education to the whole community and does not participate in any form of discrimination based on race, religion, sex, national origin, handicap, or age. Some of the unique activities that the staff make available to children and families enrolled in the school are: swimming, gymnastics, ice skating, sign language, taekwondo, creative movement, exposure to other languages and cultures, music and theatre. During our fiscal year ended 8-31-19, we served 68 different children throughout the year, including our summer program.
