At SHED, the classroom is more than four walls. It’s a living space shaped by children’s ideas, questions, and discoveries. Guided by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, we design environments that invite exploration, creativity, and collaboration. From nature walks to project work, every experience is an opportunity for children to wonder, test, and grow together.
At SHED, classrooms are intentionally designed to support how children grow, think, and learn. learning.
Rooted in the Reggio Emilia concept of the “third teacher,” our spaces are thoughtfully arranged to support calm, focus, creativity, and independence.
Research shows that well-designed environments can lower stress, improve attention, and strengthen a child’s ability to engage deeply in learning. At SHED, the classroom does not simply hold learning; it actively shapes it.
The team guiding learning, one question at a time
Monarch educators work as a collaborative team, bringing deep knowledge of child development and a shared commitment to the Reggio Emilia philosophy. They carefully observe each child to design learning experiences that challenge, engage, and support individual growth.

As educators at SHED, we believe children are capable thinkers who learn best when their ideas are taken seriously.
Our role is to guide, extend, and support each child’s learning so they leave Monarch feeling confident and ready for what comes next.
At Monarch, we see parents as partners in learning. We invite you to step into the classroom and share your unique skills, stories, or passions with our children. Whether it’s leading a simple art activity, playing an instrument, teaching a recipe, or sharing a cultural tradition, your presence enriches our community and deepens the children’s learning. Together, we make the classroom a place where curiosity and creativity truly flourish!
The overall culture of the staff and administration fosters an amazing (and rare) sense of independence, curiosity, creativity, community, and kindness. So grateful to have a program like this in Andover - I wouldn't leave my girls anywhere else!
Our kids use the bus to go from school to SHED. They are able to choose the activity they would like to do in the afternoon and they love it. The management goes above and beyond to help. We have had a wonderful experience at SHED
The clinic offers top-notch services and a welcoming atmosphere. The doctor took the time to explain everything in detail and offered practical solutions to improve my health naturally. My only suggestion would be to reduce wait times, but overall, it was an excellent experience.
The people who take care of the kids are amazing. The activities are endless, and the rest of the staff are very welcoming and helpful.
Rooted in research. Guided by curiosity. Nurturing an everlasting love for learning.
