Philosophical Tenents that guide our practice:

A Strong Image of the Child: We view each child as competent, curious, and full of potential. This perspective shapes all our relationships and teaching practices.
The Hundred Languages of Children: Children express their understanding through various symbolic languages, such as art, dance, and play, enabling them to explore multiple perspectives.
Play-Based Learning & Emergent Curriculum: Our curriculum is driven by children’s interests and curiosity. Long-term projects integrate language, math, science, and arts, helping children see themselves as active investigators.
The Role of Teachers: Teachers are co-learners and collaborators who nurture curiosity, extend thinking, and support creative exploration alongside the children.
The Environment as a Third Teacher: Our indoor and outdoor spaces are designed to inspire learning, encouraging children to experiment, be creative, and make independent decisions.
Documentation: We document children's learning journeys through notes, photos, and artifacts. This process makes learning visible and honors each child’s progress, sharing it with families, teachers, and the community.
Partnership with Families: Families are essential partners. Their involvement, ideas, and collaboration enrich our center and foster a stronger learning community.
