Our Philosophy

 


Our Philosophy

     We believe each child is an innately curious, creative, and capable person who is eager to learn and experience the world around them. Our goal is to build your child’s confidence in academics as well as with their social and emotional development. We encourage guided and independent exploration and discovery through our play and movement-based learning environment.

      Your child can expect to have their day filled with lots of play and movement, art, discovery and learning. Literacy and mathematics are integrated into all aspects of our preschool day. Our small class sizes allow us to give each child individual attention to help them to not only learn and grow, but to thrive in a fun and safe learning environment.

In addition to our movement and play based learning, we have integrated sensory, social and mindfulness activities. These include daily yoga, and exercises to develop social skills, emotional awareness and regulation. Our curriculum also includes art and child-led exploration to not only encourage creativity and curiosity, but to build confidence and ownership in their own learning.

       I have always loved teacher led learning. Even when I was a child, some of my fondest memories are of gathering my siblings around me as I taught them letters, numbers, took them on a nature walk or more. I loved leading them in learning. And I still do enjoy leading my students in learning. Having a teacher guiding students can be a wonderful way to help push them to new limits and have them learn new things they are ready for but don't have access to yet. Teacher led activities are an important part of any curriculum.     As I've worked longer and longer in pre-k classrooms, I am also learning to fall in love with student led learning. Student led learning has it's own advantages as well. When a student leads his or her own learning, retention is far more likely because he or she is enthusiastic and passionate about what he or she is choosing to learn. Agency based learning is powerful! It also can help ignite a spark of a love for learning, t...

Handwriting in Preschool

 Growing up, handwriting seemed like a chore. I remember my teachers always getting onto me for my bad pencil grip (which I still have), and I remember having to practice writing over and over again by writing lines. It wasn't fun! That experience made me want to make sure my own students can find joy in all of learning, even handwriting!  My number one goal in teaching preschoolers is to help them learn that learning is fun! Their brains are developing their foundational building blocks that will influence them for the rest of their lives. That is why it is so important for children to enjoy school and enjoy what they do in school! I want to help wire their growing brains for a love of learning. With handwriting, I try to give them choices on how they get to practice their handwriting. I'm learning in my studies that when children have choices in learning and are able to exercise agency in how they learn, it helps them feel more confident and enjoy the experience more. For wr...
