How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Anti-Bias Education Frameworkmethodology: anti_bias_educationBy implementing an anti-bias curriculum, the school cultivates children’s self-awareness, respect for diversity, and ability to recognize and act against injustice because early exposure to equity-focused content shapes inclusive attitudes and behaviors during formative developmental years.
- Nature-Based Experiential Learningmethodology: nature_based_learningBy integrating nature-based science exploration into the curriculum, the school enhances cognitive and affective learning because direct interaction with natural environments supports inquiry, sensory development, and environmental stewardship.
- Parent Cooperative Governance Modelmethodology: parent_cooperativeBy involving parents directly in governance and operations through a cooperative structure, the school strengthens community engagement and program sustainability because shared responsibility fosters commitment, accountability, and collective ownership of educational outcomes.
- Play-Based Learning Modelmethodology: play_based_learningBy using child-centered, hands-on play as the primary mode of instruction, the school promotes social, emotional, and academic development because children learn most effectively through curiosity-driven exploration and experiential engagement.
- Public-Private Partnership for Equitable Accessmethodology: public_private_partnershipBy partnering with the Department of Education to offer tuition-free 3K and Pre-K programs while maintaining independence through co-op participation and donations, the school increases equitable access to high-quality early education because removing financial barriers expands enrollment among diverse families without compromising program values.
