Most learning starts with what kids should know, then tries to make it engaging. We start with what a child is curious about, and support them to follow it.
At Creekhouse, there's no predetermined curriculum. The materials are rich: books, projects, people, the creek. Children's own attention guides where they go.
Two adults for every twelve kids, or better.
Children follow their curiosity, with hand-curated resources to discover.
Kids feel safe, known, and happy every day with their friends.
Family is welcome within. Community members share skills. Learning flows both ways.
