Our Philosophy

• We believe children learn best through exploration, discovery, and problem solving.
• We respect each child as a unique individual.
• We provide options for learning a skill or engaging in an activity, so all children can participate.
• 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.
