Philosophy
Education should involve laughter, mess and sometimes a little chaos. We believe children learn through play and it is a vital part of childhood. We will encourage creative thinking, play through many modalities and encourage laughter.
We use a growth mindset approach in how we speak with children and how we want them to speak with themselves and each other. We believe that “the way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice,” and we want to encourage their thoughts with positivity. (Peggy O’Mara)
“It’s not always easy and it’s not always fun. But thank you so much for being the one who high fives and listens and ties his shoes and gets him to smile when he’s feeling the blues. Thank you for your patience and laughing and joy. Thank you for teaching our little boy.”
“It’s hard to put your trust into someone who spends more time with your child than you do. You have to trust them to teach your child, feed your child, keep your child safe, keep your child entertained and most importantly love your child. With the Robins teachers, that trust just comes easy. There’s no one else in the world I would have picked to help teach and love our child.”
“The best collaborations create something bigger than the sum of what each person can create on their own.”
