Learning at Maple Dene & Moppet School
To be “Safe, Friendly, and Responsible” is the cornerstone of all expectations at Maple Dene and Moppet. Everyone feels secure and accepted in an atmosphere of respect and cooperation. In turn, children are eager and ready for meaningful responsibilities. Their self-esteem and confidence flourish as doors to learning open.
Maple Dene and Moppet School use a hands-on approach to learning. Children here have time to explore the curiosities of life. Through the dynamic interactions of work and play, they are drawn to their interests. Experimenting through trial and error, they search for answers. Encouraged to imagine possibilities and create from what has inspired them, they discover. This journey is adventurous and richly rewarding. Children come full circle to develop a deep, genuine love for learning and become independent and resourceful.
