Similar to our MPI school that has been providing high-quality service to families since 2015. A child-centered approach, a combination of Montessori & emergent curriculum, a focus on social emotional learning featuring Conscious Discipline & Pyramid Model teaching practices, and an emphasis on whole-child development, cultural diversity and inclusion will all be consistent.
