Our Learning Environment

Spaces Planned for Exploration

Classrooms are set up around Learning Centers, where children have the opportunity to discover specific subjects through independent and collaborative learning.

Learning Centers have a main focus (communication, creativity, invention, etc.) with open-ended learning materials that encourage discovery and can be moved to different Learning Centers for new uses.

Classroom Learning Centers

Communication Center

Communication comes in many forms and children get the chance to explore conversations, storytelling, literature, and different opportunities for mark-making, their early version of writing. Language development and literacy skills develop rapidly in early childhood.

Classroom Learning Centers

Creation Center

In early childhood, children develop their personality and begin to express what’s inside of them. Art and creativity are a great way to develop a child’s sense of self-expression. They engage with a variety of creative materials and art forms to visually represent their thinking.

Classroom Learning Centers

Discovery Center

Children can discover math everywhere. Early math isn’t just about counting numbers; it’s about learning how to think, wonder, and reason. When children sort toys by size, spot patterns, or notice shapes, they’re building powerful brain skills that extend far into the future. 

Classroom Learning Centers

Imagination Center

Imagination fuels developing brains. When children pretend, they’re not just playing; they’re stretching their thinking, dreaming creative solutions, and practicing important social skills along the way. Every imaginary adventure helps build the tools they need to learn and thrive.

Classroom Learning Centers

Invention Center

Problem-solving is a key skill developed in early childhood that serves us well into the future. Designing, building, and connecting different items and materials encourages children’s innovation and the discovery of multiple solutions to solve problems.

Classroom Learning Centers

Reflection Center

Everyone needs a quiet moment to rest from time to time. Here, children can relax, recharge, and think about their day. This quiet time encourages children to gain deeper understanding of their feelings, to comfort themselves, communicate their needs, and develop self-regulation.

Classroom Learning Centers

Investigation Center (Early Preschool to Pre-K)

This is where curiosity comes to play! This center engages all a child’s senses with interactive materials and experiences. It’s time to experiment, ask big questions, and make discoveries through hands-on exploration.

Natural Learning

Children have plenty of space, and plenty of time, outdoors to discover even more unique learning opportunities. In nature, they can explore and encounter something new each time they step outside.

Infant Learning Centers

Cozy Area: Children have a safe, quiet place to relax, read books, have conversations, and snuggle together.

Personal Care Area: Care routines allow teachers to engage in conversations and relationship-building with children. Children bond with Primary Care Teachers who provide focused attention.

Exploration Area: Children experiment with new ways of doing things to learn about the world around them. Children manipulate and interact with materials to explore how things fit, move, and balance.

Movement Area: Children can explore by stretching, reaching, crawling, and walking, to develop motor skills, balance, and coordination.
