FOUNDING BELIEFS
What Is Best For The Child?
The founders and their director, wanted to create a school that provided exceptional early childhood education for Eagle County children. They believed the way to accomplish this was to:
A School That Thrives
Build a school with excellent teachers who were passionate about their work and about the children
Create Stability
Create stability for the children by having the same teachers each day versus different teachers on different days
Promote Growth
Provide a classroom and playground that promotes learning, creativity, exploration and responsibility
Life Work Balance
Take care of our teachers by treating them as real teachers and not as just as care givers. Life/work balance.
Finally, the founders believed strongly in Martha Teien's philosophy of allowing "What is best for the child?" to continually guide the school.
