We believe that play is the highest form of research, and our teachers act as companions as children discover their interests and are encouraged to collaborate with classmates to take an idea from inception to creation. We provide children with the opportunity to create, think critically, make decisions, and work through disagreements, in a supportive, relationship-driven environment.
Our whole child approach to education focuses on the growth and well being of a child’s academic, physical, and social-emotional development. Marigold’s learning methodology and curriculum are based on understanding the different phases of child development and mental readiness to take on new concepts and ideas. We celebrate the unique capabilities of each child and weave creativity into every lesson. We regard artistic activity and development of the imagination as integral to learning.
Core to our program is social emotional development with an emphasis on personal connection as a foundational building block of education. From younger years through primary, children are empowered with age appropriate methods to help them self regulate, navigate conflict, and work as a community to solve problems. We believe that nourishing a child’s sense of self enables them to lead lives of purpose and direction and to cultivate meaningful relationships.
