ABOUT

PHILOSOPHY

Children use their imaginations to express and work through emotions and to interact with the world around them. Encouraging creative talents is a fundamental building block of childhood development, helping to establish skills and confidence that are invaluable as children progress socially and academically. Children’s imaginative powers are essential to problem solving and the development of innovative approaches and resolutions to life’s tasks. Imaginative play is the foundation for future learning.

We encourage children to use their natural curiosity during imaginative play to promote and develop:

  • Discovery
  • Observation
  • Experimentation
  • Problem Solving
  • Language
  • Literacy
  • Sorting
  • Comparing
  • Patterning
  • Number sense
  • Gross motor skills
  • Fine motor skills

MISSION STATEMENT

Our primary mission is to offer a self-paced learning program for preschool children that provides a rich and open environment for children to engage in imaginative play and to bring out their creative genius.
