Our Vision
We are creating a child-driven, emergent curriculum based on the children’s interests and needs.
We aim to foster each child's social and emotional development and well-being.
Our goal is to create a community where our children feel safe and respected and where they can forge lasting bonds with one another.
We believe learning is richest when it happens in an experiential, nature-based, hands-on, and sensory way.
We strive to prepare an environment of abundance where the children have access to a multitude of big, beautiful ideas.
We draw inspiration from several educational philosophies, including Montessori, unschooling, Charlotte Mason, Waldorf, and Reggio Emilia.
“Our aim in education is to give a full life. We owe it to them to initiate an immense number of interests. Life should be all living, and not merely a tedious passing of time; not all doing or all feeling or all thinking - the strain would be too great - but, all living; that is to say, we should be in touch wherever we go, whatever we hear, whatever we see, with some manner of vital interest.”
- Charlotte Mason -
Our community is built on a foundation of peace and respect.
We hope to instill in each child respect for oneself and one's community.
We nurture each child's instinctive appreciation of the natural world.
We welcome families from all backgrounds.
We value diversity in all its forms.
