At our school, we strive to create a safe and caring community of young explorers inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy. Our program is a place where children can learn through doing, invent through making, and solve problems by working together.

Our team of experienced and innovative teachers do this by creating a space driven by the interests and ideas of the children who inhabit it.
