Our Philosophy
Children love to learn and play. When we give them the opportunity to lead their learning while guiding them they explore the world and begin to uncover its beauty and who they are.
What Sets Us Apart
Our program/curriculum is unique! We combine elements of a variety of learning types including Montessori, Inquiry based learning, Play based learning, Waldorf, STEM, outdoor education and adapted learning styles.
