tinyHappy Garden International School
A play-based English-immersion kindergarten inspired by the
Montessori, Waldorf-Steiner & Reggio-Emilia Approaches.
Childhood is a time for learning through activity: experiencing the wonders of nature, growing socially, playing creatively & imaginatively, for singing, talking, quarreling & crying, for running & laughing. Play is the important work of a child. At tinyHappy Garden, children learn to build strong friendships, care for each other, their classroom & enjoy their time spent at school.
- Our bright, spacious classrooms feature thematic materials on low, open shelves in a safe, stimulating environment
- A lengthy morning work cycle allows children the freedom to explore with ample time to work at their own pace
- Mixed-age classes encourage cooperation, self-confidence, sharing, taking risks, role modeling & resolving conflicts
- Through cultural studies we gain acceptance of others who are different from ourselves
- Teachers communicate in English, nurturing imagination through stories, nursery rhymes, finger plays & songs
- Children can express themselves artistically through drawing, painting, clay modeling & seasonal crafts
- Our special Light & Sound Atelier allows experimentation with color, light & shadows
- Daily outside excursions help foster a connection to nature & its seasonal changes
