Our Philosophy

Significant growth happens right now — we build every day around it.

A play-based approach rooted in research on creativity, exploration and personalization is at the heart of everything we do.

Our experienced educators track, plan and tailor learning for every child so they progress across all curriculum areas — continuously adjusting lessons to each child's needs. Children have fun, make friends, learn to cooperate, discover the world, and build essential reading, writing and mathematics skills along the way.

In line with Maria Montessori and Reggio Emilia principles, children's own interests guide how we plan indoor and outdoor learning — and every class stays small, with a maximum of 8 students supported by one teacher and one assistant.

80%

of a child's brain growth happens in the first three years of life — the exact window our Play Room programs are built for.

1,000+

words a young child develops in their early vocabulary — nurtured daily through story, song and conversation in English.

8

children maximum per class, with one teacher and one assistant, so every child is seen, heard and supported.

Daily Schedule

A fun discovery for every age, from very young learners to elementary school.

Our day is organized around five programs so every child learns alongside peers at the same stage of development.
