Our Guiding Principles

Child as Protagonist | Children are at the center of their learning journey, exploring, questioning, and creating meaning every day. Teachers follow the children's lead, supporting and extending their interests.

Teachers as Co-Learners | Our teachers observe closely, nurture curiosity, and extend learning without taking over, walking alongside children as collaborators.

Environment as the Third Teacher | Our thoughtfully designed space fosters exploration and independence, serving as a living part of the learning process. The world beyond our walls does too—whether we’re walking through the neighborhood, observing nature in the park or community garden, or exploring the local playground, these environments become natural extensions of our classroom.

Relationships | We focus on social and emotional learning. We learn to trust and listen to ourselves, and also to work collaboratively. We believe learning happens through connection — with ourselves, friends, teachers, materials, nature, and the wider world.

Family Partnerships | We value relationships with families, fostering a close-knit community where children and families feel seen, supported, and connected.
