Description: At Neck of the Woods, we firmly believe in a strengths-based approach to education and learning, to social and emotional growth for children as well as their families and communities. Here, in the heart of the Mad River Valley of Vermont, we see ourselves as a vital thread woven into the tapestry of our community. With a child-centered approach to teaching a sense of place, a sense of self, and a sense of wonder, we encourage deep communication skills, collaborative play (& work!), natural affinity-building, academic growth, and holistic wellness. With inspiration from the Reggio Emilia approach to education, in connection with Howard Gardener's Multiple intelligences, we strive to provide a high quality, developmentally appropriate environment. Our environment and our curriculum values the rights of children, emphasizes respectful communication, empowerment and resilience as key pieces of a healthy child that grows into a happy, healthy and well-adjusted adult.
