Play Discover Learn

Cooperative Education

Mission

We are dedicated to fostering social-emotional development through a child-led curriculum in an inclusive and caring environment for our children, their families, and our community.

We believe in honoring childhood by creating space for exploration, connection, and meaningful relationships. Through play-based learning and nature-rich experiences, we support each child’s individual growth, encouraging curiosity, confidence, and a strong sense of self.

Our goal is to cultivate a community where children feel safe, valued, and empowered to navigate social interactions, build empathy, and develop a lifelong love of learning.

Our Philosophy

We believe children need a caring, open environment in which to grow and learn. Through a child-led, inclusive approach, children are encouraged to explore freely, get their hands dirty, and engage with the world around them.

With thoughtful guidance, they develop social-emotional skills, build empathy, and grow in confidence—supported by play-based learning and meaningful connections to their peers, environment, and community.

Discover

Children learn best through play and discovery. We teach children that their ideas and interests are worth pursuing. We foster creativity, expression and independence through facilitation of exploration and child-directed play. Our curriculum evolves from a child’s interest and expands upon their exploration.
