Services
Our philosophy and curriculum are based on our understanding of the ways in which young children learn. We are aware that each child develops individually at his own pace. We are committed to respecting, encouraging, and supporting each child in the process of growing socially, emotionally, physically and cognitively.
Although our program is informal and flexible, the environment, activities, and routines are the result of careful planning based on knowledge of each child's growth and development. We know that young children view the world concretely and that learning has to be interactive and involve the whole child.

We've been with the school since they started in 2015. For us, it has been much more than a school; it has been a family. Fern has brought together a wonderful, caring group of teachers that care deeply about the kids in their classes and really go the extra mile. I can only hope that all of my son's school experiences will be so good as his time here.
