MIXED-AGE
ENVIRONMENT
The learning environment is specially designed to meet the needs of a mixed-age group (3-5 year old). Older children establish social conscious from their roles as mentors and nurturers, while the younger ones get the opportunity to observe and model the behavior of their classmates.
DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE
Our curriculum offers a range of appropriate choices that meet the needs and interests of each child. What they learn is guided by individual readiness, ability and interest, not by age. Our teachers strive to offer appropriate learning activities that support children’s continuous growth.
PLAY-BASED
LEARNING
The youngest students learn best through guided play. Building gross and fine motor skills, social interactions and problem solving, play-based learning is key to our approach. Oral language, emergent literacy, pre-math, listening and many other skills are core to our curriculum.
COOPERATIVE
PHILOSOPHY
As a cooperative school, parents are provided great insight into their child’s development. With parents in the classroom one day a month on average, they have a real hands-on involvement in their preschooler’s education, which helps connect consistent learning between home and school.
