Learning environments are carefully planned to ensure safety with inviting age-appropriate materials that are accessible and spark children’s curiosity while providing opportunities for creation and exploration to extend learning in authentic ways, enhancing collaboration, communication, and critical thinking and honoring God in all they learn, do and say.

​

Developmentally appropriate learning experiences are incorporated throughout the day during circle time, centers, outdoor play time, cooking and meal times, transitions and any other opportunities where children and teachers are engaged and exploring together. Teachers will ask open-ended questions that begin with “What” in order to start conversations. “What” questions focus on what is happening, what you are noticing and what you are doing These opportunities give children the confidence to share their thoughts & ideas.

Our experienced teachers promote an environment where children feel respected and able to express their thoughts and creativity. They provide support to help children apply concepts to their everyday life by encouraging exploration, reasoning, observation and provide the scaffolding they need to link concepts across activities, evaluate their ideas and conclusions.

​

The daily curriculum has been carefully designed utilizing best practices as a beacon and considering that early childhood education should break away from passive instruction and allow for more student/teacher explorative play and investigation that builds curiosity about the natural world and the way things work. Passive and active activities are carefully balanced to provide constant learning experiences where even transitions provide opportunities for meaningful learning. Large and small group as well as individual activities allow for meaningful interactions and individualized learning. The predictable daily routine offers children a sense of security that allows them to be confident learners as they are able to predict the daily sequence of events.
