Overview
We believe that children are active thinkers and are able to construct their own knowledge through their life experiences. We understand that the teacher's primary focus is on understanding how children produce knowledge from their unique thought processes, which mostly stem from curiosities and interests they have and discoveries they make when attempting to make sense of the world around them.
Philosophy
We believe that children are active thinkers and are equipped to construct their own knowledge through life experiences. We see play as a vital activity in a child's life that promotes future academic and socio emotional competence. Through play, children can test their hypotheses about the world, learn how it works, and how to self regulate themselves in a social context. This assertion helps us understand that a child's development can be facilitated through meaningful learning experiences, utilization of prior-knowledge, a stimulating environment, group socialization opportunities, and a positive adult-child relationship. We firmly believe that children learn best when engaged in activities they are interested in, curious about, and motivated to explore further.
Mission
Our mission is to promote excellence in a child's learning experiences through a research-based educational approach. Our beliefs stand firm in the importance of creating an emotionally safe environment where children can develop and exceed their intellectual and socio-emotional skills as they acquire a sustainable life-long love of learning.

The Heart and Mind Behind Blue Apple
Our schedule is crafted to meet the natural rhythms of children's need for movement, promoting self-regulation and sensory development.
We balance active 'expansion' periods for exploration with focused 'concentration' times for group activities like singing and reading.
Tailored to age, our younger learners enjoy shorter group sessions to suit their developing attention spans.
