Philosophy
 
 

 

We are a play-based philosophy with a theme driven curriculum that leads us to explore our environment. We believe that children are natural learners, whose curiosity helps choreograph our curriculum. Children learn primarily through doing, and it is our goal to provide opportunities that spark emotional, social and cognitive growth. By using the natural interests of the children we are able to create a curriculum and environment that is stimulating, dynamic and fits each child’s needs.

Parent-teacher-child-partnership: In our classrooms, our environment supports the belief that children are the center of our curriculum and that learning can be both teacher- guided and child- initiated. We focus on the process of learning, not just the end result or product. At home, learning and discovery continues as the child and parent grow together expanding on the theme the child is exploring at school.

As a Program we know that the special relationships developed between child and their teachers, family, friends and community, have been successful when our students achieve the following goals:
  • They are able to succeed in group situations.
  • They view school as a happy, enjoyable place.
  • They view learning as fun and rewarding.
  • They appreciate God and nature.
  • They can effectively communicate feelings and ideas.
  • They have developed confidence, self-esteem and a positive self image.
  • They have learned to control emotions and impulses.
  • They are respectful of each other, and appreciate our differences.
