Philosophy

We believe that a teacher’s role is to foster students’ confidence and curiosity, and to empower children to discover the magic of learning. Students will take an active part in their education, become valued members of the classroom community, and uncover the ways that they best like to explore new ideas and concepts. Our classroom will provide a safe and comfortable home away from home for students to grow and flourish. We are committed to creating a diverse, inclusive, and compassionate classroom community.

Location

Our classroom is situated in the Grace Episcopal Church in Astoria, OR. It’s close to many of Astoria’s natural wonders and even has a sweet little playground on site!
