Our Garden Philosophy
-
from Montessori
From Montessori we take the mixed age classroom. We love seeing kids across an age range learn from each other as they go deep in play and by doing so deep into learning. We foster an environment ripe for learning by adding materials and tools to encourage learning
-
from Waldorf
From Waldorf education we take the rhythms of life and especially the seasons. We foster the imagination and creativity of our children with stories and songs and opportunities to show their creativity.
-
from Forest School
From Forest School we seek to provide children a close connection to nature with all outdoor classes. We provide children a hands on experience in the garden.
-
from Reggio Emilia
From Reggio Emilia we provide an environment that encourages exploration and questions. We work on projects in the garden together. We provide many opportunities for student led open ended art.
