Children learn best by doing. Learning should be a joyful and natural experience. Our approach is a prepared environment similar to Montessori, while fostering rituals and rhythms found in the Waldorf education. Our creative curriculum is based on weekly themes where experimentation, exploration, and play-based lesson plans cover age appropriate developmental practices. Our curriculum for PreK 4s and 5s, Handwriting Without Tears, aligns to the science of reading. Handwriting is one of the foundational skills that leads students toward automatic word recognition.
