“I still cannot express how touched I am/ we are that you guys made a safe food space for Emlyn. I sent this photo to her grandparents and got several tearful messages back about how moved they all were to see her at a table full of food and being able to be empowered and independent. Infinitely grateful for the love and support you all show our little Emlyn every day!”

We Believe
That parents are the experts on their children
That teachers are collaborators, researchers and nurturers who are dedicated to supporting children and parents.
In the extraordinary capability and intelligence of children
In children’s ability to construct their own knowledge.
As a school, we believe in making visible and giving voice to the rich potential and talent of children, and in the right of all children to have an environment where this talent and potential is respected and nourished.
