Our Mission
We provide a diverse educational experience that fosters self-esteem and acceptance of oneself and others through play, social interactions, and an individualized curriculum for all children from six weeks to five years.
Core Values
Children Will Be:
Independent learners - In the classroom, children will have the freedom to pick and choose what they want to learn while being supported by teaching staff..
​
Diverse learners - We welcome all abilities and support families in any way possible.
​
Problem Solvers - Children will be given opportunities for open-ended questions. Through experiences and experiments, they can explore and use their sense of wonder.
​
Liberate Learners - Instead of following a set daily plan, children will choose what they learn. They will also have access to math tools, charts, and writing center prompts.
Our Educational Philosophy
Kangaroo's Korner educates and advocates on behalf of children of all abilities, teaching developmentally. This includes fostering appropriate educational applications and theories, promoting family values, good manners, a child's independence, and a genuine respect for one another. Mastering these skills enhances a child's sense of self-esteem, which in turn strengthens their academic performance.
