Vision

As a community, we can “put the child back in childhood” and build a strong developmental foundation for our children’s lifelong learning, accomplishment, and joy.

Core Values

• We believe childhood is sacred and should be protected.  
• We promote play-based, experiential learning and inquiry.
• We champion child agency by endorsing time for unstructured activity and discovery.
• We honor our community and the potential it has to transform lives.
• We treasure human interaction and the power of relationships.
• We commit to continuous improvement and human development.
• We embrace iteration and acknowledge the ever-adapting needs of our community.
• We anchor our work in best practice and research.
