Our focus is on the development of the whole child, where they learn at their individual pace in a safe, nurturing environment.  We believe children learn best through hands-on experiences, using age-appropriate materials combined with play-based activities.  We are a place where children’s imagination and curiosity are valued, and a safety net is in place for risks taking, inquiry, construction, and exploration. 

In our mixed-age classroom, children have opportunities to develop autonomy, take on roles of responsibility, develop leadership skills and practice prosocial behaviors.  In our strength-based classroom, children can successfully build positive self-esteem, develop confidence in themselves and empathy for others. Through interactions with materials and peers, children gain ingenuity in decision-making, problem-solving and critical thinking.  Every child is capable of reaching their full potential with the support of their teachers, families and community.
