Through Block Play children learn to problem solve, expand imagination, build self esteem, develop social emotional skill sets and mathematics such as comparison, length, and balance to name a few.

By staying away from the regular “cookie cutter” type materials commonly found in most preschool, our use of non-common recycled materials in our Atelier (art room) allows a wider range of creative freedom. It also builds appreciation for the environment and lessens waste.

Intentional and thoughtful architecture from the start such as, child sized sinks, bathrooms, and classroom shelving, builds confidence and a strong sense of independence in the children.

“Eco friendly and real” is how parents describe our outdoor natural playscape. We believe children should be able to experience the outdoors in its natural state. They should be able to see birds nesting, find insects, plant a garden, experiment, theorize an interact with the environment hands on.

Each child progresses at a different rate than the other. By constant exposure and immersion in a content rich environment of words, letters, and documentation they naturally learn to write, read and express themselves in their own time and at their own pace; all without forcing them before they are developmentally ready.

Respect for the child, a commitment to the profession, and creating relationships with parents and caregivers, allows us to build a community of learners, teachers and truly happy children.
