Children have the freedom to choose their own work and are given the tools and skills to accomplish tasks independent of any unnecessary interference from an adult.

Children can and want to set the table for snack, or get out their own activities, complete them, and replace them on the shelf on their own.  We respect children’s growing need for independence and help them to develop the skills and responsibility to be successful in new activities.

Through practical life activities, children learn the skills of daily life and build the foundation for grace and courtesy.

Children in this classroom explore language and math, and discover the world through sensorial materials, botany, maps, and other cultural lessons.  It is a child-centered community that provides a peaceful environment for children to thrive.
