Reggio Inspired Emergent Curriculum
Our school is inspired by the practices of the schools in Reggio Emilia, Italy. With an emergent curriculum, educators create learning opportunities around observed child interests. We consider ourselves a multi-philosophical school and work to incorporate parts of other teaching philosophies such as Montessori and Waldorf.
Developmentally Appropriate Practice
Our curriculum is based on current research and theories in the field of child development. Each child’s zone of proximal development, each family’s cultural background, and each educator’s continued understanding of child development theories influence our practice.
Essential Life Skills
We strive to create opportunities for children to practice and grow skills that will serve them their whole lives. These skills include problem-solving, making connections, communication, and taking on challenges.
A Focus on Community
While our programs encourage your child's autonomy in their own learning, we also understand that learning happens through relationships with others, and the environment. We work to connect children with their communities out of a belief that children are not citizens of the future, they are citizens of now.
