Separation anxiety is a normal developmental stage where children experience anxiety when they are separated from their parent. Separation is a process. Some children have no separation anxiety, and some children experience anxiety for several weeks. It is important to comfort the child and let them know it is okay to cry or feel upset. Teachers manage separation by utilizing proven strategies to lessen the unknown, such as classroom visitation, consistent schedules, and routines, bringing familiar items from home, and creating an open and honest communication with parents.

Head teachers in the infant / toddler rooms may have a Certificate in Early Childhood Education or in a different field such as Elementary Education, Psychology, English, above all, we seek teachers with experience and passion to be in this field.

Our teachers are well-educated and nurturing people who respect the children’s need for security while encouraging autonomy.
Discipline is a process of learning self-control, respect for others, and responsibility. Positive methods of discipline will be always practiced so children are aware of an acceptable code of conduct at school. Efforts to help students understand behaviors that are allowed, accepted, and encouraged (including individual charts, plans, and contracts) will be used. Other stop-and-think strategies that lead to positive results through positive reinforcement, good role modeling and redirection will also be used. For any on-going issues, teachers will communicate with parents so that school and home are working together with a child’s best interests in mind. To help children learn to manage their actions and feelings, teachers will model sharing, waiting, taking turns, solving problems, controlling impulses, and expressing ideas through words.
We provide a nurturing program that unfolds the authentic spirit and character of each child while educating their hearts and minds. Our teachers seek to install a deep and lasting academic excellence, one that prepares children to learn confidently for the rest of their lives and to give generously and joyfully to others. Our curriculum focuses on activity-based settings to educate students for academic excellence and personal integrity in a diverse coeducational community that emphasizes responsibility, stimulates collaboration, and promotes mutual respect. Students learn to have confidence, independence, high self-esteem and develop a joy of learning. We follow Creative Curriculum (thematic units) with a modified Montessori approach to learning.
