OUR PHILOSOPHY
At Kingsley, we recognize that every learner is unique.
We recognize that every learner is unique, and we see the value in each and every student. Our purposely small class sizes ensure that every teacher interacts and engages with every student every single day.
Our seamless day provides students with a balance of nurturing and academics. Our school community allows the child to be seen, heard, and respected every day. Through Inquiry, Discovery, Exploration, and Analysis, we help each individual engage in the learning process. This same philosophy is carried through all portions of the day by our teachers including our before- and after-care programs.
