How We Nurture Social & Emotional Growth
The Meeting House is a vibrant community designed to facilitate the creation of relationships in new social circles among children and families with shared interests. We work with the children to develop a variety of social and emotional skills in the context of a diverse community supported by professional expertise and encouragement. Key to our philosophy is creating a special place for children to explore new friendships outside of the school setting. We strive to provide a smaller and gentler social environment where children can exercise the variety of skills they are developing as part a community they might not find elsewhere.
