Learning Rooted in Wonder
At The Dewey School, children learn by exploring, questioning, creating, and connecting with the world around them. Every day is guided by curiosity, meaningful relationships, and the belief that children are capable, competent, and full of potential.
How Children Learn
At Dewey, learning isn't separated into subjects or worksheets. It grows from children's questions, interests, relationships, and experiences. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, we create an environment where children are encouraged to think deeply, collaborate, and discovery through meaningful play.
Children's interests and ideas help shape each day's experiences, encouraging ownership, confidence, and curiosity.
Child-Led Learning
Teachers observe children's thinking and design experiences that build upon their questions and discoveries.
Emergent Curriculum
Through open-ended play, children investigate ideas, solve problems, develop friendships, and make sense of the world around them.
Play-Based Exploration
Photographs, conversations, artwork, and observations capture children's thinking and make learning visible to families.
