Director's Comments

Individual learning is recognized as an important part of our nature and time is given for the development of the self. Group activities come together casually to create social relationships with interdependent thinking, problem solving and sillyness. Teacher led activities happen daily with intent for creativity in age appropriate development.

Director's Comments

The child centered philosophy builds the daily activities on the interests and ideas of the children. A planned day is always a principal of the program that may be interrupted by spontaneous fun that will take us on an adventure to enjoy the development of the moment. Throughout the year three or four focuses of study will evolve based on science, literature, music or movement and will be a subject of learning.
