Kindness
A safe learning environment helps children build confidence and kindness.
Learning Through Play
Child-Led, Teacher-Guided
In small group settings, teachers nurture each child’s individual development while offering the right level of challenge through play-based learning. Children explore reading, writing, art, math, science, social science and leadership skills through interest-driven activities.
Standards of Learning
Lessons Built Around Each Child’s Growth
PLAYWORKS© uses age-specific Standards of Learning as the base for theme-based experiences created by teachers. Children’s progress is assessed over time, and instruction is shaped around individual needs.
