OUR PHILOSOPHY
Starr King offers a hands-on learning experience for preschool children --- minimum age 2 years 6 months to
5 years old.
Starr King is committed to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can explore, create, and thrive. Our approach is rooted in respect for each child’s unique developmental path, fostering a love for learning and a strong foundation for future academic success.
THE POWER OF PLAY
Play-based education is fundamental to early learning and development. Focusing on the whole child, it fosters creativity, critical thinking, and social skills in a natural and engaging way. Through play, children freely explore their environment, develop problem-solving competencies, and learn to interact with peers while connecting new concepts to their experiences.
Free play builds interpersonal skills through communication and collaboration with peers. This hands-on approach also supports emotional regulation and resilience, allowing children to express themselves and navigate adversity. Ultimately, play-based education nurtures a love of learning, laying a strong foundation for lifelong growth and curiosity.
“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.” - Fred Rogers
WHAT IS A PARENT-CHILD WORKSHOP?
Guided by child development professionals, families create an environment of wonder and discovery. The school's workshop atmosphere fosters responsibility for the Starr King community, where the whole family participates in cooperative, experiential learning. By joining Starr King you are not just enrolling your child in a preschool; you are joining a community focused on the growth, development, and joy of childhood.
