About Us
Preparing Tomorrow’s Innovators Today
Our Philosophy for 21st Century Learning
We create programs where children can be physically active, mentally engaged and creatively inspired, while focusing on characteristics rooted in innovation.
It is our mission to create tomorrow's innovators, today - Innovation is a set of skills that can be taught, nurtured, developed and practiced. Through fun and exciting activities, we foster curiosity, collaboration, associative and integrative thinking, and a bias toward action and experimentation, the hallmark of an innovative mindset which improves social, emotional and academic outcomes for children. Children who master these skills are far better prepared than their peers and live a more successful, healthy and fulfilled life.
We combine STEM based, hi-tech curricula and enrichment (coding, robotics, rocketry, etc.) with play, team building activities, games, recreation-based enrichments (karate, chess, dance etc.), sports and physical fitness to foster an innovative mindset. Every activity is designed to foster at least one area of 21st century skill development.
What We Know & Believe
- Environment: Every program is a safe and nurturing environment led by qualified and caring educators who facilitate a fun, engaging and intentional program to help children learn, create and innovate.
- Community: Every site reflects the needs, desires and wants of the community. We are a connected learning partner and every student, parent, teacher and administrator should have a voice and a choice in their program.
- Whole Child: Our program motivates the mind, body and spirit of every child. Learning is fun, and learning is done through play, exploration, experimenting and by building connections.
- Inclusion: All children should have access to high quality opportunities for Creativity and Innovation.
- Process: Children’s innate curiosity is the spark to true Innovation. We encourage children to question, experiment and create with an understanding that innovation is an unfinished process.
- Learning: Children should have a safe and secure environment where it is ok to make mistakes, with the understanding that failure is a healthy part of the process for creating and innovating new ideas.
- Innovation: An “Innovative Mindset” can be nurtured and taught in all children and is accomplished through intentional opportunities for Creative Problem Solving, Critical Thinking, Collaboration and Active Communication among peers.
- Cross Curricular: Children should know that they can be an artist and a scientist, an engineer and a designer, that STEAM should not be viewed with “ors” but with “ands.”
- Joy of Exploration: Children should have real control over their learning which is why many of our activities use Project Based Learning, which offers children a fun, hands-on and challenging way to learn.
- Flexibility: Our job as a connected partner is never finished, we will always strive to innovate and create the best individual program for each and every school.
