We give our students time to play and grow. Our program and our environment encourage wonder, inquiry, independence, and discovery. We seek to create confident, life-long learners who will move out into the wider world with strong academic and social skills, intense personal interests, a love for the arts, and a commitment to building inclusive and peaceful communities.

    • We believe that:
    • Children learn by doing.

    • Learning occurs in ways unique to each child.
    • Children's curiosity and initiative are integral to their education.
    • Independence is a vital part of every child's development.
    • Working with others enhances children's growth in every domain.
    • Every person is a thinker, creator, and contributor.
    • The natural world is a place to learn.
    • Childhood should be fun, and children should find joy in learning.
