we educate children in a way that enables them to progress organically. We take into account the whole child and give equal attention to the physical, emotional, intellectual, cultural and spiritual needs of each - and we work with families to create individualized goals based on those needs. We look at educational philosophies as a whole and select only the practices that are backed by evidence. We encourage the development of important pre-school readiness markers such as independence, communication, responsibility, self-regulation, adaptability, and curiosity. We allow children to discover the joy in learning and experience the richness of childhood. We create unhurried, creative, and predictable learning environments with natural, open-ended materials that spark exploration.We play outside, rain or shine. And finally, we welcome children of all abilities, all faiths, and all backgrounds while practicing respect for others and our surroundings everyday.
