Our prepared environment supports and responds to the young child's physical, emotional, psychological and social needs. We believe that learning occurs when the child is free to explore in an environment rich with possibilities for purposeful work. Our goal is to empower children by providing a place where they can do things for themselves without the immediate help of adults and gain independence, self-confidence, self-reliance and a life-long love of learning.
