"From John Dewey to Jean Piaget, educators have generally agreed that small children learn mainly from interacting and not passive listening, understanding and not memorizing, reading for fun and not simply decoding."

At Children's Corner, young children learn in an environment that perfectly balances structure and exploration.
On any given day, one might see five-year-olds absorbed in the biology of snails making iridescent trails with diluted food coloring.
One might hear four-year-olds gaining social skills as they brainstorm how to share the bike-yard or learning about solids and liquids by manipulating translucent, sparkle gak.
Three-years-olds may be developing whole-body coordination doing yoga or strengthening the fine motor muscles in their hands with clay.
Supported by caring, knowledgeable teachers and surrounded by friends, children experiment with new skills and gain confidence and motivation from their emerging abilities.
