Who We Are

Purposeful play is at the center of our approach to learning.  We see the environment as another teacher in the classroom and plan invitations in our centers and outdoor spaces  that support children's  interests, creativity and cognitive growth. When children learn through intentional play,  they are explorers and investigators in their own learning.  Joy, community and challenges at the just-right level of each child  provide the building blocks for all future learning.

Supportive

We are a team of adults dedicated to finding meaning and joy in our daily experiences with young children.  We value your family and provide daily contact about what happens at school each day through an app called Brightwheel.

Community

We are caregivers who listen to both the voices of children and the families who love those children. We think carefully about our interactions and provide invitations for children to extend their ideas and explorations.

Learning

We are educators who use a project based approach to learning and a research based curriculum to guide us in our discoveries and explorations with children.  We carefully document experiences and share daily with families on a private, secure app designed for this purpose.
