I love that I have the freedom to do so many things teaching. It’s an open ended, play based learning environment. The school is just energetic and full of excitement”

“Family involvement is part of the beauty of this place, a lot of thought and care to know kids in and out. There are opportunities for kids to be who they are and opportunities for them to explore that and display it for others to see and learn. The emergent curriculum, that allows teachers to be responsive to individual children. There are opportunities for teachers to engage. It’s a different level of teaching that I have never experience before.”
-Vanessa Cid, Head Teacher
“Caring sense of community we know he’s been loved and he needed that. It’s there at all levels from the administration through the teachers. There’s a willingness to figure out how to support children vs. following the stereotype. Finding different ways to work with the child it what matters.”
-Felicia Share and Sherry Darling, Parents
“Being a teacher is about constantly learning and teaching at the same time. My role as a graduate student and teaching assistant embodies that fully. As teachers, we are constantly learning from students, teachers and the community. At EPCS, we take children as serious thinkers and to be part of that growing, discovering and knowing is what I enjoy the most!”
-Janie Lupica, Kindergarten graduate teaching assistant
