Our approach
Connections for the whole child
The connections we have with our students, families, and our community run deep.
Connections are the foundation of our progressive, process-oriented approach to early childhood education, where children are encouraged to do the work of children… play!
Our goals are centered around helping our young students feel powerful within a community. We build strong connections with our students and their families every day.
We connect with every child’s interests and adapt our days around what the students love, helping each child develop confidence and a love of learning to advance to their next stage with curiosity and enthusiasm.
Our approach to early learning gives a balance to child-directed and teacher-guided activities. Children learn by doing; moving from concrete, hands-on experiences to more abstract concepts.
We have strong, active ties to the surrounding community to help KVK students gain a strong connection of belonging and purpose within Katonah’s distinctive, engaging and creative community.
