We believe children are the worlds most valuable asset. Children are born with astounding potential. We provide a place that respects all children and their right to create, discover, explore, and learn. In a world of many differences we encourage children to explore their similarities and differences in respectful and safe ways. at Our Neighborhood each child has a right to question, discuss, and disagree.
We believe children learn best in the context of secure respectful relationships. We make it a priority to create relationships with and between children, teachers, families, and helpers. Through our relationships with children and families we hope to create a close neighborhood of support and learning, Our Neighborhood.
Our Environments are designed in a way that maximizes learning and reflects our values. An environment must challenge children to learn in safe and healthy ways. The environment design and material choices emphasize the importance of relationships and connection to the world in which we live.
Our Children develop critical thinking and problem solving skills from infancy. We believe it is important to encourage children to plan, prepare, and think about their learning and their ideas. The project approach to learning allows for in depth exploration and discovery based on childrens interest. Teachers then use the childrens projects and interests to incorporate concrete math, science, and literacy skills.
