Our School

Play provides the foundation for academic learning in our classes, because children learn best by doing what they love most. As one of our preschoolers puts it, "If it's not fun, I don't want to know about it." Much of what the children in our program learn is hidden in the activities and choices that abound in the preschool, whether it's math at the sensory table, the phonemic awareness while rhyming at circle time, or architecture building villages in the sand box.

As Diane Trister Dodge in "A Parent's Guide to Preschool (quoted liberally below as well) puts it, "Learning isn't just repeating what someone else says; it requires active thinking and experimenting to find out how things work and to learn first hand about themselves and the world."
