School Philosophy and Mission
Our philosophy is based on Piaget's observation that 'play is the work of the child.'
We use dramatic play, games, artwork, songs, and group activities to help children develop emotionally and socially, and to lay the foundation for later skills in math reading, science, and writing.
Our programs build on the natural curiosity of young children, and instill an excitement for learning.
We recognize that children develop differently, and value each child as an individual.
