Stay tuned for new discoveries and adventures ahead!

Social Emotional Learning Program
Learning Goal
Social Awareness: Students use empathy when they see unfair behavior or to prevent unfair behavior.
What friends and learners are doing at school...
Finding ways to help others, particularly when others experience unfair treatment, is an important skill for young learners to develop. When children help others and stand up for others being treated unfairly, it helps build better relationships and student’s own self-concept. In this lesson, tigers will practice recognizing behaviors that are unfair and behaviors that show empathy and support by playing in pairs.
What friends and learners could be practicing at home...
When unfair behavior occurs, point out the behavior and guide the students involved in ways to resolve the issue.

OUR PILLARS
Sunshine
Children at this young age thrive in a joyful, fun-filled environment where their days are filled with laughter, song, and love.
Barefoot
Children connect best with real and authentic learning experiences that are grounded in nature, family, and community.
Outdoor Mapping
Children at this young age are fascinated with nature and how the world works, so we want them to explore, discover, question, and research their world.
