Green Garden programs · Infants through Pre-K

Growing happens in the doing.

Every stage of childhood has its own questions, rhythms, and remarkable work.

Our programs give children relationships they can rely on, real experiences to investigate, and teachers who pay attention to who they are becoming.

One approach. Room for every stage.

Grow with us

Meet the child where they are.

Infant care, toddler care, and preschool through Pre-K are offered across our five schools. Our enrollment team will help you identify the right classroom and schedule for your child.

01 · A FOUNDATION OF TRUST

Infants

A familiar caregiver learns each baby’s cues, comforts, and daily rhythms. Holding, feeding, movement, and sensory exploration all become moments of relationship and discovery.

02 · THE JOY OF “I CAN”

Toddlers

Toddlers move, test, repeat, and claim growing independence. Teachers offer choices, clear limits, language for big feelings, and plenty of room to try again.

03 · IDEAS WITH ROOM TO GROW

Preschool & Pre-K

Children plan, build, investigate, pretend, negotiate, and revisit their ideas. Teachers turn careful observation into experiences that deepen thinking and strengthen relationships.

What runs through every program

How we teach matters as much as what we teach.

Green Garden draws on HighScope’s active-learning approach. Children participate in their learning through relationships, choices, materials, and experiences they can return to.

We also draw from Conscious Discipline as we strengthen the way adults respond to children’s social and emotional needs.

01 · RELATIONSHIPS

Known by the people beside them.

Teachers learn children’s interests, cues, and family context so care feels personal.

02 · ACTIVE LEARNING

Their ideas have somewhere to go.

Teachers observe, ask useful questions, and make room for children to act on a plan.

03 · OUTDOORS

The world is part of the classroom.

Natural spaces give children real things to notice, care for, and investigate.

The whole day is the curriculum

Care, play, and learning belong together.

A meal is a chance to connect. A walk outside becomes an investigation. A difficult moment can become practice in naming a feeling and solving a problem.

Teachers pay attention to those moments and help children build skills within the real life of their day.
