Our Classrooms
Where the Magic Happens
We root in a human curriculum that focuses on the child’s developmental range of Self and Community – Who I am, and who am I in relationship to community? Foundationally we foster a human curriculum of how to care for ourselves, help take care of others, understand our feelings and emotions, and those of others, while developing an understanding and relationship with the Earth. From a human curriculum our Early Childhood Teachers facilitate Emergent learning through documentation, research, refection, and planning. We use Learning Stories to cocreate curriculum with our children and families. Each story is written to the child themselves.
