Classroom and outdoor environments are purposely prepared to meet each child’s developmental needs. Our internationally-recognized curriculum is based on a deep understanding of child development. Our internationally trained teachers give individual and small group lessons using carefully designed materials. These selfcorrecting manipulative materials gently guide children through individual stages of intellectual, personal, and social growth. Within the carefully prepared environment, they move from concrete to abstract learning free from the fear of failure or falling behind.

Children then have the freedom to choose follow-up work which allows them to demonstrate a deeper understanding of what they have learned. The result is children who are confident, curious, creative and who are eager to contribute to the larger community.
