Filosofía

At Maple Playschool children are respected as people who want to learn, deserve to feel appreciated, and can contribute to the well-being of human and nonhuman others. We empower children to learn through free play with curated materials and one another, and we design curriculum inspired by children’s interests. To determine children’s interests, we observe children as they play, we ask them open-ended questions, and we regularly discuss their choices with their parents/guardians. We give children our unconditional positive regard, and we celebrate their personalities and achievements with their families. Because we teach children both how to be in community and what a community can be, we strive to promote joy, equity, and ecological care for and alongside children. Ultimately, we support each child in developing love of learning and of the natural world.

Ubicación

We’re located in Sherwood Oaks, a lovely neighborhood in southeast Bloomington near Jackson Creek Trail. With the permission of parents/guardians, children can enjoy walking field trips to Sherwood Oaks Park and Olcott Park. Families can travel to Maple Playschool by bus, taking the 4S or the 7.

Acerca de nuestro programa

Children are welcome to follow their curiosities in our safe, inspiring indoor and outdoor classrooms. We offer daily opportunities to climb, build, paint, sing, pretend, play with water, listen to stories, and more. To foster nurturing relationships between educators and children, we cap enrollment at 8 kids.
