• Prepare a beautiful, orderly environment that fosters concentration, independence, and deep learning
• Cultivate independence and self-confidence by helping children "do it all by themselves"
• Provide individual and small-group lessons to support each child's development in practical skills, literacy, math, and more
• Form personal connections with each child and cultivate a community of respect
• Communicate and collaborate respectfully with parents to provide the best possible support for every child
