About this preschool

Happy Birch Preschool offers a project-based, social-constructivist approach to early childhood education that emphasizes each child's individual intelligence and forms of learning. The school provides Parent & Toddler, Preschool, and T-K & Kindergarten programs with a focus on hands-on experiences, nature, artistic expression, and mindfulness.

Philosophy
Social-constructivism approach built on the belief that each child possesses miraculous abilities and multiple forms of intelligence. The school uses project-based learning in relation to children's interests identified through close observation and reflection. Focus is on children's emerging ideas to empower them as self-motivated thinkers and problem solvers. Early child development is viewed as an open-ended dialectical process that cannot be measured by simple standards or prescribed norms.
