Daily Routine
Every day follows a gentle rhythm, giving your child the comfort of knowing what comes next, while leaving room for wonder and their own pace.
Children are encouraged to follow their own interests within each part of the day, guided softly by our teachers rather than steered by the clock.
Structure gives your child security; flexibility gives them freedom to be themselves within it.
