OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe in self-directed, cooperative play. We believe play is fundamental for brain development. This requires children playing with and alongside one another.
We believe parents are their child’s first teacher. Teachers and staff partner with parents to support children in their learning process.
We believe the child’s space at school should be protected from fear, anxiety and adult-stress. A child should feel safe at school.
We believe all children should be respected, heard and seen. This is achieved by developing strong relationships with each child and observing their needs. We teach children the value of listening by listening to them.
We believe play is messy, requires space for discovery, risk-taking and compromise, and is filled with opportunities to model problem-solving.
We believe in meeting the needs of every child in a developmentally appropriate way - the physically active child, the observer, the reader, the scientist, the artist and mixes in-between. We are not a one-size-fits-all school.

PARENT EDUCATION
The most important and dynamic parent education ANS offers is the time you spend as a working parent during your workdays. As our history and philosophy reflect, we are committed to being a place of enrichment and education for the entire family. While your children are gently guided toward greater confidence and independence, you can also take advantage of the Parent Education opportunities we offer to enhance your parenting toolbox.
