    Why Small Miracles?

    We believe the early years for children are crucial and in the past twenty years, brain research has recognized that 85-90% of the brain develops between the ages of birth to five years of age. At Small Miracles, we know this and feel that it is important to offer activities that stimulate and challenge the brain, so we designed our schools learning environment to be a place for children to learn, explore, and play.

    We use a number of philosophies to support our teaching and learning practices including Maria Montessori, Jean Piaget, Howard Gardner, and Reggio Emilia.
