🌿Our Teaching Approach
🌿Our Teaching Approach
Grounded in evidence-based early learning strategies, our teaching honors the whole child and adapts to each learner’s unique strengths, needs, and pace. Our approach includes:
- Emergent Curriculum
Learners experiences are not strictly pre-planned but rather evolve and emerge from the children’s interests, needs, and inquiries.
- Social-Emotional Learning
Our daily routines incorporate strategies to build empathy, self-regulation, collaboration, and communication skills—key foundations for future success and well-being.
- Developmentally Appropriate Practice
Activities are designed to meet children where they are—emotionally, socially, and cognitively—respecting individual timelines and honoring each child’s experience.
- Scaffolded Instruction
Teachers model and guide children through new challenges while gradually releasing responsibility as confidence and competence grow.
🌿 Diversity, Belonging & Community
We believe that diversity matters—in ability, background, language, and identity—and we are dedicated to cultivating a community where all children feel seen, heard, and celebrated.
Whether your child is climbing logs, collecting leaves, or learning how to share a story with a friend, they are seen, supported, and celebrated just as they are
We are honored to welcome families who value nature, diversity, inclusion and evidence based instruction.
What Families Say
“My daughter is blind, and from day one, Molly saw her intelligence and potential—never focusing on limitations, only strengths. She stood up for her, believed in her, and made sure our whole family felt supported. Molly is more than a teacher—she’s a true advocate.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better start to our son’s education… Ms. Molly made learning fun, engaging, and meaningful. He was excited to go to school every day and even asked to go on the weekends!”
“Before starting TK, my daughter had been kicked out of several daycares… Mrs. O saw something in her and never gave up. Because of her, my daughter became more confident, capable, and most importantly, understood.”
“Gracie woke up ready for school every day. Molly’s patience, kindness, and ability to connect with each child created a warm and nurturing environment that fostered social, emotional, and academic growth.”
