Our Core Principals:

Rooted in the Reggio Emilia philosophy, our morning preschool and after school classes focus on a process of inviting and sustaining learning. We offer a creative outlet for the mind and soul of every artist. It doesn't stop there - we offer camps, birthday parties, and more!

- Children's relationships and interactions within a school
Learning must focus on each child, not considered in isolation, but seen in relation with the family, with other children, with the teachers, with the environment of the school, with the community, and with the wider society.

- Teachers and children as partners in learning
Teachers are not considered protective baby-sitters, teaching basic skills to children but rather they are understood to be learners along with the children. They are valued for their experience, their ideas and their love of children.

- The role of space
The lay-out of physical space fosters encounters, communication, and relationships. Children learn a great deal in exchanges and negotiations with their peers; therefore teachers organize spaces that support the engagement of small groups.

- The image of the child
All children have preparedness, potential and curiosity. They should be considered active citizens with rights, and contributing members of their families and community
