Academics

Inspired by Montessori principles, children are encouraged to make choices, develop self-help skills, care for their environment, and take responsibility for their actions. Through meaningful daily experiences, they build resilience, perseverance, confidence, and independence.

Our teachers document children’s thinking, discoveries, conversations, and learning through photographs, observations, portfolios, and learning stories. Documentation celebrates each child’s growth, makes learning visible, and strengthens partnership between school and home, while guiding future learning experiences.

Our classrooms are intentionally designed to spark curiosity, creativity, collaboration, and discovery. Beautiful, thoughtfully prepared learning environments filled with natural materials and open-ended invitations inspire children to explore, investigate, create, and make meaningful connections.

Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, we believe children express their ideas through many languages, including art, music, movement, storytelling, dramatic play, construction, and design. We honor these forms of expression as powerful tools for thinking, communication, and early literacy skills.

Community and collaboration are at the heart of our program. Children explore diverse cultures, languages, traditions, and perspectives while developing respect, sense of belonging, and global awareness. Through collaborative experiences with peers and teachers, they strengthen communication, empathy, and social skills.

Many opportunities are provided for children to develop mathematical skills. Through counting, sorting, chess, measuring, comparing, building, and hands-on activities, children develop logical and analytical thinking, reasoning, and problem-solving skills.

Children are provided daily opportunities to develop their gross motor skills, coordination, and concentration through daily outdoor activities, neighborhood walks to the park, or by enjoying our interactive indoor gym. Through drawing, painting, cutting, threading, sculpting, working with clay, writing, children strengthen their fine motor skills.

Our teachers are viewed as partners, researchers, and guides. They observe, document, and guide learning experiences that build upon children’s interests, questions, and discoveries.
