LEARNING IS A JOURNEY Each child is a unique contribution to our classroom. Because every journey is a bit different, an emphasis is put on respecting the diversity of all learners within our classroom community. Children learn about their individual learning styles and strategies to help make this journey smooth and enjoyable. We take time to learn about each other and become helpful learning partners. Each child is encouraged to reach their full potential. Our classroom is rich with a variety of wonderful learning experiences for all. Volunteers are always welcome as resources along our memorable journey!!
