At Scalliwags Preschool, we believe that play is the foundation of learning. Through hands-on experiences, children explore the world around them, develop meaningful relationships, and build the skills they need for life.

We view each child as capable, curious, and full of potential. Our role as educators is to nurture their natural wonder, support their social-emotional development, and provide an environment that encourages creativity, problem-solving, and joyful discovery.

Our approach includes:

  • Child-led exploration: We follow children’s interests to build curriculum experiences that are engaging and relevant.

  • Developmentally appropriate practice: Activities are tailored to meet each child where they are, allowing them to grow at their own pace.

  • Holistic growth: We focus on the whole child—socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively.

  • Connection and community: Learning happens best in a caring, respectful, and inclusive environment where every child feels they belong.


Our motto, “Learning through play, every day,” is not just a tagline—it’s our guiding principle. Through purposeful play, we build the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.
