Our Process

In general, children are placed in each of our classrooms by chronological age. We believe in the importance of establishing a strong community among children, teachers, and families, therefore all children remain in the same room for the full school year. 
 

Our curriculum is guided by the MA Guidelines and Frameworks with a focus on the interests of the children in each classroom. Themes, concepts, and plans are implemented when these interests emerge through a play-based and child-centered approach. It is our desire to assist each child in discovering their sense of wonder through inquiry and project-based learning.
