Philosophy

Creative people are curious, flexible, persistent, and independent with a tremendous spirit of adventure and a love of play.” — Henri Matisse

We are influenced and inspired by The Reggio Emilia Approach, a progressive early childhood program founded on the principles of respect, responsibility, and community through exploration and discovery in a supportive and enriching environment based on the interests of the children through a self-guided curriculum.

Play is at the core of everything we do at Creative Imagination Schoolhouse. We believe that it is through playful and imaginative exploration that real learning happens, creative thinking evolves, problem solving develops, and true meaningful connections are made through their daily experiences in our program.

Our aim is to bring out the heart of a child — to build and develop a strong foundation of confidence, self-esteem, independence, creativity and imagination. In all that we do, we are committed in incorporating character-based education to our daily interaction to foster compassion, independence, kindness, patience, collaboration, and leadership.

Our philosophy is to instill a lifelong love of learning by providing a safe, nurturing environment with fun and developmentally appropriate educational activities. We believe that children learn best through interactive play in an atmosphere of love, warmth, acceptance and understanding. We offer a balance between child initiated activities and teacher guided learning invitations, where children lead the learning and the teacher guides. We also use natural materials and top quality furniture designed for environmental sustainability.
