"The School House believes in creating dynamic early learning experiences for children of all ages. Our goal is to co-create an environment where children are viewed as developing beings, who have a voice, who have knowledge and who are capable of co-constructing their learning experience, as well as our collective culture, beliefs and values. The educator's responsibility therefore, is to make this learning visible and to celebrate it while meeting the child where they are, taking their hand to show them all this world has to offer."
