ACADEMICS

Learning from
Moment to Moment

In a Reggio Emilia-inspired classroom, play becomes a purposeful path to growth. Teachers build on children’s interests to introduce early literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving in meaningful, engaging ways. A conversation at the block table becomes a lesson in sequencing; a nature walk sparks measurement and vocabulary. This intentional approach blends structure with spontaneity, ensuring that academic growth emerges naturally from exploration, wonder, and each child’s unique way of learning. By kindergarten, these joyful discoveries evolve into more focused academic experiences—while preserving the spirit of curiosity and play.

Belonging 
and Connection

Social-emotional learning in early childhood begins with self-awareness and grows through play, shared routines, and daily acts of kindness. As children learn to express feelings, resolve small conflicts, and recognize others’ needs, they begin to see themselves as part of a caring community. Their sense of belonging deepens through interactions with older student buddies, school-wide traditions, and family participation. These early relationships plant the seeds of citizenship, fostering empathy, confidence, and a joyful connection to something greater than themselves.

Discovery 
and Joy

In early childhood, learning begins with the child’s natural drive to explore. Through unstructured play, storytelling, and hands-on encounters, children ask questions and make sense of their world in personal, meaningful ways. This freedom to discover nurtures confi dence, creativity, and a joyful connection to learning. As they play, imagine, and inquire, their natural curiosity becomes the spark for deeper engagement—laying the emotional and intellectual foundation for resilience, empathy, and a lifelong love of learning.
