Approach

Core Values

• Family/ Community- We believe in nurturing a community based on engagement and open communication, who values a culture of inquiry, creativity, and process. Children, teachers, and families join together to continually improve the system that supports our school.
• Collaboration/ Reflection/ Knowledge- We believe in a collaborative process based on a dialogue that leads to deeper understanding and provides opportunities for connection and growth.
• Environment – We believe in providing children and adults with an aesthetically pleasing and stimulating context, with open-ended materials that invite higher-order thinking skills and theory building.
• Connection with Nature- We believe in fostering a connection with nature through experience, exploration, and family involvement. Our intention is to provide opportunities for children to create a respectful relationship with nature. Through integrated exposure, we strive to inspire environmental stewardship.
• Inclusion- We work to create a fair and just environment where diversity and individuality are celebrated. We encourage a sense of belonging by modeling compassion, respect, and appreciation of our differences.
