Our Learning Environments

An environment for learning

Our environments and overall atmospheres support and enhance each child’s learning, through enabling positive relationships and effective communication.
The design of our physical space plays a primary role in facilitating the development and maintenance of relationships, with indoor and outdoor spaces sending a message that getting to know one another is important and constructing expectations of how we work, live, and play.
