Description: The mission of The Little School is to keep alive each child's natural curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, to support balanced social and academic skill development, and to foster community minded, compassionate and intrinsically motivated students. We see children as resourceful, self-motivated learners. Each child has a unique timetable for the unfolding of abilities. We know children become their best selves in an environment which is responsive to their interests and talents. Children's inner and outer lives have a place in school. We accept children's heartfelt desire to express their inner lives through meaningful activity including social connections, play and academic skills. We acknowledge learning is based in social interaction, so our rooms and class sizes are small. We encourage children's natural inclination to learn through and with peers. Teamwork is encouraged. The room environments are similar so that children moving up to a new class find a familiar array of choices. This allows them to progress at a consistent rate. Contrary to the popular idea that curriculum can be boiled down to a few skills that are taught repeatedly, we see curriculum as a rich and vibrant process which can best be described as an interweaving of the teacher's goals with the child's drives and interests. Whenever possible, learning is structured as a discovery process in which children are active rather than passive. Each year, the teacher and children working together create a unique culture in the classroom. Teachers plan for every child and the entire group with this in mind.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
