We believe in the power of a childs imagination, sense of wonder, creativity and exploration. Being a play based, child centered school, children have the freedom to explore the world around them, try new things, create and grow.

"Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning.
Play is really the work of childhood."

- Fred Rogers

At Roots to Bloom Preschool, we feel it is important to respect ourselves, each other and our environment.

We encourage our teachers and children to:

• Treat each other with kindness and empathy.
• Accept and celebrate all of our differences and similarities.
• Work as a team.
• Respect living creatures, nature and its gifts.
• Get messy, be silly and have fun!
• Be independent.
• Be responsible for our actions and words.
• Ask questions and find ways to explore the answers.
• Care for our surroundings.

Our hope is to instill a positive sense of self and a life long love of learning.
