Our play-based program is a cooperative in which parents and teachers share the common goal of supporting our students in their learning endeavors and providing a quality learning experience. Our environment fosters social, emotional, intellectual, physical, and creative development with emphasis on the whole child as a unique and capable individual. We strive to provide a foundation on which children can build their knowledge and understanding of their world with a hands-on approach, as they experience it through active play and manipulation of materials. Creativity, discovery, and decision-making are encouraged within a developmentally appropriate curriculum.
We provide a routine that is organized, but flexible, placing emphasis an environment that is nurturing, safe, and welcoming. It is our belief that children who feel secure, capable, and valued are better equipped to realize their full potential and to make the transition to the next level of social and cognitive competence. Cooperation, self-discipline, empathy for others, and self-help skills are modeled and encouraged in our daily activities. A standard of mutual respect and tolerance for each individual is incorporated within our curriculum, and in our interactions with one another.
