Our Philosophy
We believe all children learn best through play and experimentation. Our mission is to have a safe, secure, friendly, and nurturing environment that encourages confidence in students as they grow in independence, self-respect, empathy, and a love for learning.
Social-Emotional Learning, Academics, and Play
Preschoolers need exposure to nature and the outdoors, music and art, books and numbers, and movement. Doing so with other children their age lets them grow in one of the most important areas for this age group: social-emotional learning.
By playing together and sharing daily lessons, conversations, and routines, our students learn compromise, self-advocacy, sharing, empathy, patience - all skills that they will rely on as they journey toward kindergarten (and beyond). We offer a wide variety of educational, open-ended games, materials, toys, and activities to make this journey fun!
