School Philosophy and Mission
"The school is designed to create an environment of love and trust where the children can grow emotionally, intellectually, physically and socially. The school will provide a safe, secure nurturing atmosphere where the child can develop a positive sense of self-worth at his own pace.
The school will provide exciting choices and free play where the child can explore and experience the joy of learning. The child will be able to develop socially by interacting with his peers, and be actively involved in the process of sharing, cooperation and communication.
The child will be academically prepared and challenged to reach his potential.

Being Savvy Today
My Year of Giving Thanks
A year is such a strange thing. It's hard to define, other than to say that it's (generally) 365 days long, or to assign some notion of time to it. Yet, the truth is, so much happens in a year that all those events and experiences seem enough for
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?
What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?

Today's “Preschool’s Out” Activity
Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
