School Philosophy and Mission
We believe in a development philosophy, where each child is valued for their individuality. A sense of wonder and discovery are fostered through a play based environment rich in art, music and literature. Our mission is to give each child a love of learning and school that will carry them over their lifetime.

Typical Day-In-The-Life At This School
9 a.m. till 10 a.m. is free play/art outside. Many stations are set up with sensory activities, small motor, large motor and art activities, along with sand and water play. At 10:00 a.m. we wash hands and have our mini-meal, consisting of two food groups and juice. From 10:30 until 12:00 noon the children rotate in age assigned groups between three teachers for their learning lessons. Here each teacher has a focus, either art, small motor, math, science or alphabet.
