Saxon Hill School, Inc.

SHS is a Reggio Emilia inspired school. In a Reggio school, education is seen as a communal activity and sharing of culture through joint exploration among children and adults who together open topics to speculation and discussion. This approach provides us with new ways to think about the nature of the child as learner, the role of the teacher, school organization and management, the design and use of physical environments and curriculum planning that guides experiences of joint, open-ended discovery and constructive posing and solving of problems. Reciprocity, exchange and dialogue lie at the heart of Reggio education. SHS is a Family Cooperative. As a member of a family cooperative preschool, you and your family are partners in your child¿s education. In addition to being involved in the classroom and working closely with our teaching staff, families also share in the responsibility for the school¿s operation and administration. While it is true that a family co-op requires more family involvement than a traditional preschool, the reward is a deep involvement in your child¿s first school experiences and a unique sense of community with the staff and other families at Saxon Hill School. Family commitments include: family helping in classrooms, committee work, attendance at Full Membership Meetings, assistance with fundraising.
