Play is the work of childhood, and imagination teaches us to soar. Blue Jay teachers nurture curiosity and wonder each day through intentional play invitations and unstructured encounters with the natural world. Every single day, we ask questions, build hypotheses alongside the children, research, and find ways to test our theories. We embrace each child’s first job as scientists, and learn alongside our students.

We spend hours outside every single day, in all kinds of weather. We notice the changing of seasons, uncover a plethora of natural mysteries, and invite each of our students to connect to the Earth in their own way. Blue Jay students are invited to dig in the dirt, plan and tend our school garden, and care for animals in our science lab.

At Blue Jay, we sing and dance and tell silly stories and laugh until our bellies hurt. We honor all of the moments of joy during our time together, and delight in the wonder of early childhood. There’s nowhere else we’d like to spend our days.
