Our Philosophy

We believe it is important to create a community where all learners feel safe, respected and have a sense of belonging. It is important to focus equally on the social, emotional and academic needs of students. We strive to meet children where they're at by differentiating instruction, choosing developmentally appropriate activities and providing a balance between teacher-directed and self-directed learning. We value play, the arts, movement, creativity and laughter as important and meaningful parts of the learning process for children.
