We are a partial day preschool program inspired by the Reggio Emilia Educational Approach. The Emergent Curriculum allows a teacher to listen to children's interests, and then design the activities and provocations that will enhance their learning. Our school is play based to develop skills of self discovery and exploration. Classrooms have a homelike quality and each teacher creates an environment that children can thrive in.... most children don't want to leave when school is over. We like that. ;)
