About

Our Mission To give the child time to grow. To help the child develop a strong sense of self – to allow him to “blossom from within.” To provide an environment rich in equipment and materials, where experiences are direct and concrete, to build the foundation for later, more abstract experiences. To provide movement experiences for development of physical and motor skills. To promote growth in visual, auditory, and tactual perception … to sharpen the senses. To provide an opportunity to learn and practice patterning of all kinds… visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. To provide listening activities. To provide many and varied opportunities for oral expression. To build a foundation for sophisticated math concepts through manipulation of concrete materials. To build a foundation for chemistry, physics and biology, through discovery and play with blocks, and natural materials such as water and sand. To help the child relate to others socially and to be a part of a group. To help the child develop problem-solving techniques. To promote creative expression through art, dance, music, cooking, story telling. To help the child develop the habit of success. We are a school that encourages each and every child to develop and grow to their full potential at their own pace.
