Our Philosophy
Our vision is to provide an inclusive preschool setting where Universal Design for Learning is utilized to meet the needs of all students. Our school’s mission is to set the foundation for inclusive equitable preschool practices in Humboldt County with the intention to educate the local community. It is our intention to have school communities where students and staff embrace diversity, equity and inclusive cultures.
Inclusion is a way of thinking and acting that allows every individual to feel accepted, valued, and safe. An inclusive community consciously evolves to meet the changing needs of its members. Through recognition and support, an inclusive community provides meaningful involvement and equal access to the benefits of citizenship.
