Mission

"Be who you are. Become who you were meant to be."

We believe that:
A child's curiosity is precious and must be nurtured.
Every child must feel seen for their individual gifts and strengths.
Children have within them a natural desire to explore and discover the world around them and find joy in learning when they are actively engaged in the learning process.
Children learn best in an environment of mutual respect and one that provides opportunities for cognitive, social, emotional, moral and physical growth.
Multi-age grouping provides opportunities for peer teaching, sharing and natural social development.
Children internalize concepts and skills at their own pace.
Children learn best when competencies are fostered through successful experiences, and failures are re-defined as learning opportunities.
A multi-sensory approach maximizes learning because it provides for individual learning styles.
Children need opportunities to make choices, thereby fostering independence, self-esteem and self-discipline.
