About Welcome to our cozy little Parachute community!
Since 1993, Parachute Express Playschool has been nurturing curious minds and kind hearts by providing and promoting early learning through play. Our innovative culture values our youngest citizens, engages educators, partners with families, and strengthens community.
There is a joy and optimism in our collaborative approach to early learning. As an early learning environment, we are committed to growing an emergent curriculum supported by pedagogical leaders.
We believe that children are competent, capable, natural explorers of their world. Each member of our teaching team envisions his/her role as a facilitator of learning opportunities in everyday experiences; we are curious alongside the children, and actively reflect on our practice with our colleagues. We continuously work to make meaning of experiences and deepen our understanding of the culture that we create inside our classroom. We nurture and empower our children to strive for excellence, demonstrate depth in character and confidence, and take initiative and responsibility for their choices. We foster capable life-long learners, who are driven by purpose and passion, and who serve with kindness, humility and grace. We believe in the enduring ability to learn from our surroundings, from each other, and from ourselves. At Parachute Express, we believe in limitless possibilities.
As the founder of Parachute Express Playschool, it has been my absolute privilege and honor to share in the lives, laughter and learning with so many families and children throughout these years. My decades of experience in the early years classroom has allowed me to see life through a different lens, where every new learning opportunity is magical. I have developed an insatiable appetite for new knowledge and skills as a lifelong learner while I embrace the joy of the journey that is Early Childhood Education. Welcome!
