Second Street Children's School is planned to meet individual, cultural, and age appropriate developmental needs of all the children.

Teachers engage in collaborative planning to ensure that a variety of appropriate choices are available for children each day.

Children have the opportunities to run, climb, play quietly, chase one another, read, be read to, paint, write, dance, balance, swing, and imagine.

They have time to grow, time to roam, to explore, to experiment, to discover, to play and most of all, time to be a child.

We believe, as Piaget suggested, that "play is the work of children".

Teachers are always available to answer children's questions, to help them solve problems, to snuggle, to give or to receive a hug.

They regularly take notice of what children are doing and what may be added to the environment to extend the learning moments.

They truly are the facilitators of your child's school learning experience.
