Culture & Community
Child-centered, inquiry-based early childhood education inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach and grounded in constructivist / social-constructivist theory. Relationships and creativity are central; children learn through hands-on investigations, creative expression in Ateliers (art studios) guided by an Atelierista, and documentation of their learning. The curriculum honors each child's interests and natural curiosity while meeting developmental milestones.
