🍃Play-Based, Reggio-Inspired Multi-Age Program🍃
Our program encourages learning through play, following children's natural curiosity. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, we see children as capable and creative, with teachers guiding learning based on children's interests. Multi-age classrooms allow younger and older children to learn from one another, build empathy, and develop leadership skills.
🍃Conscious Discipline🍃
We use Conscious Discipline to help children develop emotional intelligence and self-regulation. It focuses on building a sense of safety, connection, and problem-solving, so children learn to manage their feelings, communicate effectively, and make positive choices.
🍃Heggerty Early Preschool Program🍃
This is a fun, engaging way to build early literacy skills. Through songs, rhymes, and movement, children develop phonemic awareness—the ability to hear and play with sounds in words—which is a key foundation for reading.
🍃Constructivist Approach🍃
Children learn best by doing. In our constructivist approach, children actively explore, ask questions, and experiment. Teachers support and extend their thinking, helping them make sense of the world through hands-on, meaningful experiences.
🍃Mindfulness and Social-Emotional Learning Focused🍃
We help children develop awareness of their emotions, bodies, and thoughts. Through breathing exercises, reflection, and play, children learn empathy, resilience, and how to handle big feelings in healthy ways.
🍃Developmentally Appropriate Practices🍃
We meet children where they are. Our teaching practices are based on what’s best for each age and stage of development—socially, emotionally, and academically. We respect each child's unique path and pace of learning.
🍃Benefits of Outdoor Preschool for Early Childhood🍃
Spending time outdoors boosts creativity, problem-solving, physical health, and emotional well-being. Nature becomes our classroom, encouraging exploration, movement, and a deeper connection to the world around us.
