Mission, Vision, & Philosophy

To provide a unique high-quality education that fosters the natural curiosity of children, provides a nurturing learning environment, and engages them in the natural world.

We aspire to create an environment filled with warmth, understanding, and grace where children are able to reach their highest potential. At Curiosity First children are supported by highly qualified education professionals as they explore and build an understanding of the world. Our education staff partner with parents and guardians through the development of authentic supportive relationships to provide a holistic individualized education for each child.

The first five years are the most important period in human development. During this time children learn that the world is a safe and secure place, the people in their world can be trusted, and life is an adventure worth trekking through. All adults have an obligation to ensure children are supported through these critical years with warmth and understanding. Curiosity First employs highly trained individuals to provide children with an educational experience that respects each child’s developmental needs.

To meet those needs we provide a variety of natural and interesting materials that support growth and development. These materials are designed to intrigue, challenge, and engage young children. We consider the natural world a critical part of the learning environment and work to extend the children’s experiences beyond the four walls of the classroom.

Another critical element of the classroom environment is the child’s family. A successful early childhood education can only be achieved with active family involvement. Supportive partnerships between educators and family members create a sense of security for the child. Children learn the importance of education when family members become involved in the program by volunteering, attending conference and events, or participating in school activities.
