Our Philosophy
Our vision is to provide an inclusive preschool setting where Universal Design for Learning is utilized to meet the needs of all students. Our school’s mission is to set the foundation for inclusive equitable preschool practices in Humboldt County with the intention to educate the local community. It is our intention to have school communities where students and staff embrace diversity, equity and inclusive cultures.
