Children learn about the world around them through exploration and discovery at Sandpiper. Our teachers provide a safe and nurturing environment where children can grow socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually. Children are encouraged to express their own opinions and interests-these are used to tailor the curriculum. At Sandpiper, we believe that community, along with parents and teachers, play an important role in making a child's first school experience a positive one. Field trips, interactive play, gym time, skating, sign language and language sharing make up part of our curriculum.
