We recognize the substantial role exploration and experimentation play in early childhood and embrace the natural curiosity and inquisitiveness of this special stage of development.

We place the development of empathy, emotional regulation, and skills for making and maintaining friendships on equal footing with traditional academic pursuits.

Children are encouraged to explore multiple means of understanding themselves and communicating with the world around them, including process art, music, and dance.

We guide children toward empathy and appreciation of differences, developing respect for our role as global citizens.
