Philosophy & Education
Our curriculum is a unique blend of Bloom's Taxonomy, the Flight Curriculum Framework, and Movement-Based Learning. We believe children learn best when they move, touch, and experience concepts rather than just memorizing them. We aim to raise confident, empathetic, and capable individuals.
With a licensed capacity of just 52 children, we operate like a close-knit community rather than a large institution. This allows our educators to provide personalized attention, build deeper connections with every family, and ensures siblings can stay connected throughout the day.
We use a "Connect before Correct" approach. We do not use time-outs or punishment. Instead, we focus on positive reinforcement, redirection, and modeling appropriate behavior to help children understand their emotions and develop self-regulation.
