OUR VALUES

The curriculum, environment, philosophy, and daily life of Wooden Fish Preschool are grounded in five guiding principles:

CHILD CENTRICITY

Wooden Fish Preschool is a place for children, with an approach rooted in the question – How can we provide children with the tools they need to continue their journey as lifelong learners?

COMMUNITY

We are dedicated to collaboration and communication among the people that make up our community and the communities of the children in our care. This includes the staff, the families, the neighborhood, the city, and the cultures in which our lives are rooted. 

DIVERSITY

We believe that diversity of people, families, culture, opinions, and beliefs provide the rich base from which children’s understanding grows. Wooden Fish Preschool believes children with different levels of ability still can learn together.

EXPLORATION

At Wooden Fish Preschool we create environments that inspire the imagination.  We join children on adventures of exploration. Children are allowed to construct their own knowledge through experimentation.  Teachers curate an environment where children can learn all of the things they wish to know.

RESPONSIBILITY

We believe that every person must be aware of, engage with and respond to: the people around them; the world they live in; and their own physical, mental and emotional needs.  As educators we are charged with awakening and encouraging this awareness, engagement and responsiveness in children.
