Nurture and guide each child's development physically, socially, emotionally and intellectually in an environment where learning unfolds through play, inquiry and exploration. Creativity and artistic expression are honored as part of every day.
Provide a safe place in which the multiple relationships among children, staff, parents and caregivers are recognized, respected and encouraged . Self-regulation and responsibility are promoted and facilitated in a supportive environment that is organized, clear, and consistent.
Build a diverse community that reflects our city at large. Our children speak many languages, learn in individual ways, and come from a variety of family structures, circumstances, and cultures.
We come together through our children and our shared desire that their earliest school experiences provide a foundation of thoughtfulness, confidence, and excitement about the intrinsic pleasure of learning.
