The Children's Schoolhouse We believe children learn best when they can choose, discover, question, understand and be unique.

The concept of The Children’s Schoolhouse was started in 1971 by a group of Davidson parents looking for a preschool based on sound principles of early childhood development. The belief that children are naturally curious and intuitive people who thrive by exploring and discovering the world around them has remained consistent through the years. Our curriculum is built on a trust in the power of play and on the concept that children learn primarily on doing rather than listening. We use an emergent curriculum to encourage discovery learning through hands-on activities, open-ended situations and play in numerous centers. We combine this with a ā€œmulti-age approachā€ reinforcing the benefits of cooperative play, while assisting teachers in supporting each child’s individual needs and talents. We are a cooperative, therefore families play a critical role in all of this, both inside and outside of the classroom.

We loved meeting so many new faces at Davidson National Night Out. Seeing these kids creatively build with a batch of homemade dough and a few treasures from nature was so special. Thanks for spending part of your night with us! šŸšŸ‚

River play, fall planting and mud pies! 🄦🄧
Our second week of school was full of dirt, song, and sweet friendships. The children planted kale, lettuce, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and peas —we can’t wait to watch them grow right alongside our students! 🌿

Have a restful weekend, Schoolhouse families. See you all Monday!
