Aquatic Park School

To provide the highest quality Early Childhood Education for the children in our care in a safe, loving and respectful environment so children can freely explore their world. We believe that children learn through play and in relationship. We all learn from our inquiries and explorations; from our mistakes and the problems we encounter; from each other and the different perspectives we each bring. Learning happens in relationship and community and with JOY and LOVE. We are committed to our school community reflecting the beauty of our differences and the strength of our alliances to each other. We are diverse ethnically, racially, and culturally with many different family structures; from different socioeconomic experiences and backgrounds and with a commitment to LGBTQ teachers, families and children – each person and family bringing a unique and valued perspective and presence to our community. We are committed to the professional development of APS teachers, teachers in the community, and students of early childhood education. Our mission is to continue to grow and evolve in the field of Early Childhood Education. We are committed to the cultivation of our school as a place of research, with a community of learners, and for active global citizens to engage in democratic practice.
