We believe in using current research about learning and the young child’s brain, our lived experience as educators, and what we know about the lived experiences of our children and their families. We are committed to building culturally responsive, anti-biased, anti-racist, nurturing environments that are inclusive of all children, particularly children with developmental delays or disabilities, who speak languages other than English, children of color, and children living in poverty.

We are committed to this vision because young children inspire us with their curiosity, playfulness, and sense of wonder about the world around them. We see the core of our work as celebrating and understanding the strengths and great capacity of young children; working to sculpt their brains so they become powerful thinkers, and building preschool and elementary programs worthy of their capabilities.
