Discovery Hubs

Every morning, our preschoolers start the day outdoors, moving, making and exploring.

While children arrive, they join a hands-on hub with friends. It is a calm, happy way to start the day, and it builds confidence, curiosity and the whole child.

Every Day, Every Child, Every Moment, Matters.

How hubs connect to learning

Hubs support our School-Wide Learning Outcomes. Here is what they sound like for preschoolers.

Discover · SLO 1.1

“I can try different ways to do something.”

Every hub invites children to be curious, experiment and have a go.

Discover · SLO 1.2

“I can play nicely with my friends.”

Working side by side in the hubs, and together on Synergy Day, builds teamwork.

Embrace · SLO 2.1

“I can eat fruits and vegetables.”

Cooking and gardening help children enjoy healthy food and healthy habits.
