As we enter registration season, we’ll be exploring the five pillars of our King Street philosophy.

5. Anti-bias. This philosophy maintains that diversity is positive, while oppressive behaviors are negative. Anti-bias curriculum is based on concept that it is detrimental for children to develop biases against people of different color, religious and ethnic culture, sexual orientation, ability, or economic class.

In addition, curriculum goals include enabling every to construct a confident self-identity, encouraging understanding and acceptance of the common humanity all people share. We learn from our neighbors and work to build community together.

As we enter registration season, we’ll be exploring the five pillars of our King Street philosophy.

4. Problem-solving. This approach trusts that children have the ability to solve their own problems with the facilitation and support of a skilled adult to guide them through the process. For young children the goal is learning to use the problem-solving process, rather than always finding the solution.

You’ll hear brainstorming ideas for group play, making a plan for sharing toys, and communicating with friends about who will be flying the plane.

Supporting our wide range of families, all caregivers are welcome to work a family classroom shift and younger siblings are able to attend as plus-ones.
