We help children feel safe and comfortable in a home like environment while providing provocations for learning together. Through our walks, our talks, our play, we form safe and secure relationships which give us the confidence to challenge ourselves and become resilient.
We head outdoors everyday, sometimes to our second home at Mount Parke, stopping at the Farm Gate store for some fruit which we enjoy in or outside the café, chatting about our day. Or we may head to the community center or beyond. We take pleasure in the natural playground which surrounds us offering endless opportunities for independent inquiry.
Each child has a chance to lead and to follow as we learn the give and take of being together with peers. We take our trusty "choo choo" everywhere, often greeted by passerby and friends.
