“Within the child lies the fate of the future.” – Maria Montessori
The school combines the philosophies of Friedrich Froebel, Reggio Emilia, Maria Montessori, and Orff Schulwerk. Owner Polly Trump has always been inspired to improve the quality of the curriculum and environment, and has attended two study tours in Reggio Emilia, Italy, the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University, Institute for Child Care Design; and collaborated with educators worldwide at the Working Forum on Nature Education. Polly began her career at Del Mar Hills Nursery School in 1977 as a teacher’s aide and was mentored by the founder of the school, Ursula Waddell.
Ursula built the educational foundation of the school upon the elements of Froebel (1782-1852), founder of Kindergarten, and graduated from the Froebel Seminar in Kassel, Germany in 1953. Polly Trump took ownership of the school in 1997 and is thrilled to have one of her previous students as the Director!
