Early Educational Philosophy:

• Play is the foundation to growth in a child’s early development. 

• Inviting children to guide their own learning experience whenever possible builds confidence and their sense of wonder.

• A focus on patiently and gently helping to navigate their social and emotional skills in the earliest years prepares children to have a more successful higher educational experience. 

• The outdoors are a gift and we should embrace the educational opportunities offered to us naturally as often as possible. 

​

Hopes Within the Classroom:

• All of the children feel loved, safe and heard. 

• Our community thrives as we learn and grow as human beings through our many different roles. 

• The flow of the seasons continue to guide our stories, songs and hand crafts. 

• The rhythm of the day provides us all with a sense of comfort so that we can come to expect a certain peace when we gather.

• That all of the children fall in love with learning and feel confident in their ability to adventure and explore what awaits them outside of EBNS.
