● Daily schedule that provides much time for outdoor exploration
● Inquiry-based exploration through play that expands on key, developmentally appropriate concepts
● Child-inspired, child-directed documentation of gained skills and concepts that guide the teacher in scaffolding next learning challenge

“If a child happens to show that he knows any fact about astronomy, or plants, or birds, or rocks, or history, that interests him and you, hush all the classes and encourage him to tell it so that all may hear. Then you have made your schoolroom like the world.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
