Materials support a child’s active learning. Play with unit blocks reveals mathematical concepts long before the child is ready for formal math instruction. Use of oil pastels with watercolors reveal chemical interactions your child can see and understand. Musical instruments are high quality and pitch accurate to preserve a child’s natural musical aptitude. Crayons and chalk, as opposed to markers, develop hand strength during art activities.
We believe that what you won’t find in the school is as important as what you do find.
At The Mulberry Tree, you will not find:
• Technology – we use natural materials to optimize early childhood learning
• Gimmick toys – we believe in ‘elemental’ and homemade toys
• Pesticide-laden foods – We believe wholesome, organic foods are the best for developing bodies
• Intrusive teaching – we cultivate self-direction in the child.
