King School
When young learners see education as a place to experiment, create, construct, and connect, they develop a more expansive mindset about what “school” can offer them. They experience education as a path of discovery, understanding, wonder, and joy. These ideas are grounded in the Reggio-Emilia inspired, project-based teaching and learning practiced at King School. We encourage our PreKindergarten and Kindergarten learners to collaboratively explore intentionally created vibrant classroom spaces where children are actively engaged in the process of learning from the earliest ages.
The Children's School
For meaningful learning, children need to be known and understood by their teachers. Our teachers are masters at creating a warm, orderly, and stimulating environment that invites students to discover their interests and satiates their curiosity, creative imagination, and hunger to learn. In our classrooms, students build foundational skills as they delight in music and art, movement and dance, and converse in basic Spanish. Respecting that the early years are the most important in a child’s educational journey, at The Children’s School we are passionate about providing the gift of a good beginning and instill a lifelong love of learning. We invite you for a tour to learn first-hand how our skilled staff and unique pedagogical philosophy serve the needs of the individual child, ages 3 to 8.
