GUIDING PRINCIPLES

The way we see children shapes the way we guide and care for them.

WHOLE

Committing to caring for the whole child, we view body, mind, and soul as equally important parts of an integrated whole and we take the time and energy to intentionally nourish each of those parts.

UNIQUE

Recognizing that no two children are exactly alike, we encourage each child to grow in a way that promotes self-motivation and independence as they find their individual purpose.

ESSENTIAL

Creating a united community, one where each child is aware that they are a part of a bigger picture, is an essential piece of the foundation that is built as we guide young learners to be thoughtful, engaged members of their communities and the world.

Our teaching philosophy comes to life through the rich environment we cultivate.

EXPLORATION LEADS TO UNDERSTANDING

Believing that inquiry and curiosity are keys to authentic development, we encourage children to ask questions and search for understanding as they go beyond the surface to grow deep roots of wisdom.

TIME LEADS TO GROWTH

Growing strong roots takes time; we are intentional about allowing each child the time to develop at his or her own unique pace in a setting that values the complete process of learning.

DIVERSITY LEADS TO ENRICHMENT

Following the example of Jesus, we welcome students from every walk of life as we seek to create a community where families from diverse socioeconomic, religious, cultural, and racial backgrounds can come together to enrich one another’s lives.
