Philosophy
We believe that children have a natural drive to learn. Our goal is provide a rich learning environment, create activities that encourage them to try new things, and watch them fly.
Children have a variety of activities each day to choose from in the areas of dramatic play, music, literacy, art, STEM, motor skills, and practical life skills. Teachers act as guides to each student’s development, and activities are dynamic, changing and adapting with the needs and interests of the students.
