School Notes

Our philosophy is based in our belief that children are competent individuals who can construct their own meaning of their experiences.
The teacher’s role is not to provide all the correct answers.
Rather, the teacher provides the occasion for discovery and learning.

Our approach is hands-on and multisensory. We recognize that children have a natural curiosity and a predisposition to enjoy the unexpected. Children engage in active exploration and investigation to make sense of their world. We strive to fuel children鈥檚 investigative impulses and encourage discovery, promote questioning and challenging of ideas, and formulate connections of experience.
We respect children鈥檚 multiple ways of demonstrating their intelligence. Children are encouraged to develop their individual strengths and each child鈥檚 unique contribution to their community is appreciated. Strengths are celebrated and valued while opportunities are created to provide exposure to, and enhancement of, other talents and skills. Children will be given the opportunity to express themselves through music, painting, drama, song, movement, and play.
