Classes

We believe kids learn best when they feel safe, seen, and supported.

Our classrooms use learning centers that let children lead the way—with teachers guiding, encouraging, and jumping in alongside them. Through play, movement, and curiosity-driven activities, kids build the skills they need to grow emotionally, socially, and intellectually.

We draw inspiration from child-led philosophies like Montessori and Reggio Emilia, all grounded in responsive care and a deep belief in the power of community.
