Our purpose is to create an environment where children are active participants in their own learning. We aim to provide a safe space that encourages shared control between teachers and the children. They will be partners in the learning experience. We recognize that children construct knowledge through direct, immediate experiences with objects, people, ideas, and events, and thus we aspire to support their learning by creating an environment that encourages children to explore, discover, experiment with engaging materials, and interactions with adults and peers. Through active learning our children will build academic, problem-solving, and social-emotional skills.
