– Learning is best achieved when the needs to the child are considered and addressed in a safe, positive environment.
– Learning involved students actively participating in a variety of challenging experiences, including play.
– Together, students, staff, families, and community members contribute to the growth of the whole child.
– Learning is a lifelong process built on meaningful experiences.
