Our Kindergarten program will be a model that prioritizes social and emotional development, compassion, empathy, and collaboration as well as aligning with our 5 pillars: the Reggio Emilia philosophy, community, mindfulness, our gardens and nature.

Using the community space of the SHED Children’s Campus, the children will be given the time and space to actively explore, engage, and learn indoors as well as out. Guiding children’s learning development as individuals will also be paramount. Creativity, tinkering and imaginative play will be embraced as well as the development of important content curriculum by using the Massachusetts Department of Education standards as a roadmap.

Documentation of the individual child and group learning will be used as an ongoing form of assessment.
