Vermont Day School Daycare

Education should be vibrant, stimulating, relevant and meaningful. Innate curiosity, creativity and passion for learning are life-long qualities to foster. Respect for diversity and individual differences is the foundation of a healthy community of learners. Patience and tolerance, kindness and gratitude, are important attributes to cultivate. Innovative approaches to learning should be encouraged and celebrated; there is not just one right way. Effective communication skills in speaking and writing are essential competencies. Learning is not only about memorizing information; it’s about knowing what to do with it. A strong foundation in math, science and digital learning is paramount for success in school and beyond. Collaboration with peers–at the table, in the community and across the globe–promotes communication, open-mindedness and flexibility. Work habits of persistence, initiative, adaptability and self-reflection contributeto effective learning.
