OUR PHILOSOPHY
Several factors are fundamental to the optimal development of any child. One involves the experiencing of a wide variety of activities which allow the child to learn, acquire and refine skills. These activities should permit the child to consider alternative solutions, to access the outcomes associated with each solution in order to determine the optimal course of action. Such activities should foster independence, including the child’s eventual ability to set their own goals and standards.
We also value the importance of creating a warm, loving, and nurturing environment that allows the adults and children to formulate a positive relationship and bond. It is important to note, that it is through these relationships that children learn to trust other adults and peers, which allows children to experiment, learn and then grow from their environment.
​
Beyond the indoor classroom environment, we also strongly believe in the importance of outdoor play. We consider the outdoor play space to be an extension of our classroom, and aim to go outside everyday for several hours if weather permits.
​
Lastly, our program provides all food, and strictly limits outside food coming into our program. Our food is homemade, and freshly made daily. We utilize local ingredients and produce as often as possible, and stay away from anything processed or frozen.
