OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe in the importance of developing a relationship with nature, and we offer a variety of gardening activities like planting seasonal vegetables and flowers, studying bugs and insects, and other gardening-related activities.
OUR CURRICULUM STATEMENT
We believe that children learn best when they are having fun and are given opportunities to explore, experiment, investigate, and problem-solve through developmentally appropriate activities. Our teachers follow a curriculum framework that aligns with this philosophy. The curricula we use are grounded in scientific research and evidence-based practices, as well as best practices in the field of early childhood education. We incorporate Developmentally Appropriate Practices (DAP), the Program for Infant-Toddler Caregivers (PITC), the Creative Curriculum, and elements inspired by Reggio Emilia. These approaches are implemented in our programs through play, while also fostering a positive learning environment both indoors and outdoors.
