The Third Teacher
Our play yard is a place where hands press into cool earth, feet trace the roughness of wooden beams, and eyes follow the gentle sway of leaves in the breeze. The indoor space will embrace the outdoors as an essential part of learning. We’re creating a space that nurtures children's growth and deepens their sense of belonging, ensuring that every child feels welcomed, seen, and inspired.
Patches of Blue
Each day and every class session, all of us, children and adults, look up at the sky, studying each corner. The children have developed a shared language of SKY.

The edges of the street and sidewalk read like urban nature headlines. Big, bold print calls our attention to all the stories happening in the neighborhood.
Mud Kitchen Recipes

Yellow Jacket Sisters
Three children had been stung by yellow jackets. The stings had not happened at school, but the memories and the desire to not be stung again ruled the day(s). Play and story came to the rescue.
