Children are naturally programmed to learn through play. We believe that gently guiding their learning through that play is the best for not only their brains, but also their bodies. 

Children are innately curious. Our day to day activities give them numerous opportunities to use this curiosity to investigate, imagine, and create. 

Allowing children to productively struggle can sometimes be difficult, but with allowing that struggle comes independence. Independence builds confidence, and that is what we are aiming for. 

We provide a comfortable environment where children feel safe and able to express their emotions fully. We spend lots of time focusing on our inner selves, recognizing what our bodies are telling us, and how to best respond to those feelings. 

We create and maintain a culture where peace is important. When conflicts arise we address them using the concepts of empathy, listening, and using our feeling words. 

Above all, our classroom focuses on treating ourselves, each other, and our surroundings with kindness and respect.
