Philosophy
Respect for children and their families is at the heart of our programs. By nurturing strong relationships, providing safe, caring environments, and committing to best practices in early childhood education, we help children learn to value community, indulge their curiosity, and build confidence for life.
Our program is informed by a long history of early childhood research and best practices to create a unique child-centered approach to development and learning. We believe children flourish when their individual identities are respected, and they’re naturally inspired and part of a community that celebrates our similarities and differences. Our curriculum empowers children as change-makers, invites them to explore and create, helps them learn to build community… and most importantly, to have fun with play-based learning experiences. Our rooms are designed around your child’s unique needs, and our curriculum is built from the latest research in early childhood development to help little minds grow!
