About our program

At our School, we teach the concepts of math, science, engineering, art, social sciences and early literacy though our play-based, Frog Street curriculum. The materials are open-ended and invite discovery. Children make their own investigations and draw their own conclusions whenever possible. We also utilize the Conscious Discipline model approach to classroom management. Conscious Discipline is a social-emotional learning program. The program supports first teaching ourselves about self-control and self-regulation, and then teaching children.
