One of the very few schools that not only understands what it takes to create a successful and positive early childhood education experience, but demonstrates it in everything that they do here. My 4 year old is THRIVING here. He WANTS to go to school, even on days that he doesnt have school. (This was not the case last year at a different preschool.)As an educator, experienced in early childhood and elementary schools, I have been impressed with this school from the moment I first read about their philosophy on their website, to touring the school and seeing it in-person, to now having my child go to this school and seeing the positive impact that it is making on him and nurturing his love for learning and play.Not only have I been an educator for over 12 years, but I also wrote my Masters degree thesis on the importance of play. For those that want to learn more about why play is so important for children, check out the books: Einstein Never Used Flash Cards and Last Child in the Woods. To then have a child 4 years after writing my thesis and 4 years after that, find a school that actually understands, embraces, and models this essential part of childhood is so gratifying.My son especially loves when it is our helping day in the classroom and I love it too. I get to be a part of his learning, curiosity, and observe how he interacts with others and the world around him... this is so important to his growth and development in knowing how to best support and guide my child at home.Children need the freedom and time to play. Play is not a luxury. Play is a necessity. ~Kay Redfield Jamison

Our daughter is flourishing here! She loves to go to school and her teachers are amazing. The philosophy behind their approach is pretty awesome.
