Our philosophy

 

We believe that learning is an active process. Children learn best through play. Through play, children learn to devise, surmise, compromise and empathize. It is our job to provide an environment whereby the children feel safe and excited to explore. Our teachers guide children’s development by providing opportunities for the children to imagine, invent, create, experiment, discover and draw conclusions on their own. We structure the environment not the play. We believe our most important job is to help our children learn to socialize with others. We give the children the opportunities, and the tools, to learn to enter play, to negotiate and to problem solve. Without socialization skills, school is a very lonely place. “We have never seen a parent cry because their child received a B instead of an A. Yet we have seen many tears wept by parents of children who have no friends nor the ability to make friends.” - Reneé Savoie and Darcy Davies
