Our Philosophy

• We believe children learn best through exploration, discovery, and problem solving.
• We respect each child as a unique individual.​
• We develop a partnership with families and work together to guide the children's growth.
• We believe being outdoors every day is important.
• We teach three rules: Be kind to others. Solve problems by talking. Put away everything you use.

How We Teach

Our theme based curriculum balances school readiness skills with a social and emotional foundation. The daily routine includes outside play, teacher-directed learning, group activities, and free choice time. Literacy, math, and science concepts are embedded in the activities, with opportunities for creative exploration and expression. Music and natural science enrichment lessons add to the fun!
