Academics
Our preschool and prekindergarten students experience a child-directed, hands-on curriculum designed to nurture curiosity and confidence.
In our Early School, your child has plenty of time for active, unrestricted movement to engage with the natural world and make discoveries on their own and with their peers. When you ask what they did today and they say "I played," you'll know that it means much more than that. I played outside and...
- practiced collaboration and compromise, sharing toys and creating a game
- made patterns in the sand
- sorted and grouped rocks by their shape and size
- found things in nature that begin with the sound /s/
- told an amazing story that my teacher put in my journal that I share with my friends at group time
In this Section
As a parent of a preschooler, I value that my daughter is in a nurturing, inclusive, structured and fun academic environment where she is encouraged to explore the world around her and expand out of her comfort zone. Even more importantly, I can see she values it too, as she is just as happy when I drop her off in the morning as she is when I pick her up in the afternoon.

Outdoor Learning
Learning through nature is an essential part of our Early School program. In addition to the hands-on activities in our classrooms, our littlest learners head outside to play, discover and learn in the open air. We climb on stumps, we splash in puddles, and we let our imaginations soar.

Maker Mindset
It all starts with a question. How can you connect two things? How can you make something taller? We set out materials and facilitate with questions to encourage your child to tinker and try, discover and try again. Innovation is born of play, passion and purpose — children learn best by doing.

Community & Character
It’s never too early for children to learn (and practice!) good character. Habits they learn in the early school classroom will shape their character for the rest of their lives. From preschool through 12th grade, our community is based on respect, acceptance, inclusion, and integrity.
