Play-based preschool curriculum in Philadelphia

Play-based preschool curriculum in Philadelphia

Our play-based approach to early learning.

Children learn through meaningful play, trusted relationships, and experiences that help them understand themselves and the world around them.

Learning through play

Curiosity leads the way.

Teachers create age-appropriate opportunities for children to experiment, imagine, solve problems, communicate, and make decisions - with guidance that respects each child’s pace.

Literacy & Blueprint

Stories, language, and Blueprint literacy support early reading and communication.


Art, Music & Movement

Daily creative experiences encourage expression, coordination, and confidence.


Philadelphia Experiences

Libraries, museums, and community trips connect learning to the city around us.


Social & Emotional Growth

Children practice independence, cooperation, empathy, and resolving conflict.


Outdoor Learning

A private backyard and neighborhood parks make movement part of the day.


Kindergarten Readiness

Children leave with academic, social, and practical skills for what comes next.

A tour gives you the opportunity to experience the classrooms, meet the community, and ask questions about your child’s next stage.
