We teach children to think creatively so they may succeed in a complex and ever-changing world. Young children learn through active exploration in an environment which is rich in materials and opportunities to converse, socialize, work, play and negotiate with others. The classrooms are planned to encourage curiosity, exploration and problem solving in an atmosphere of warmth, affection and respect for each child. Our Building Bridges curriculum is inspired by the Creative Curriculum and incorporates philosophies of Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Waldorf approaches to learning. Teachers plan experiences based on children’s interests and appropriate educational concepts. Children are actively involved in experiences which include foundations of science, technology, engineering, math, creative arts, language arts, music, movement and dramatic play. In addition to S.T.E.A.M. learning, all interrelated aspects of the child’s growth and development are considered — intellectual, social, emotional, physical and creative.
