Depending upon the age and composition of the class, ratios may be as low as 1:4 while our maximum teacher to student ratio is 1:11. Low ratios enable teachers to better understand your child as a unique person and to adapt learning activities to meet individual needs.

Your child will feel nurtured and most importantly, respected. Basic values and character traits such as friendship and honesty, etc. will be a routine part of daily classroom activities.

Classes explore each child’s uniqueness to increase self-esteem, encourage acceptance of others, and celebrate our individuality.
