What is different about Wellspring?

Wellspring Preparatory Academy is committed to providing a warm, loving, and respectful environment for both children and staff. The Whole Child curriculum focuses on every child in our care's social, emotional, and academic development. The staff values include prioritizing onboarding and training, creating a comfortable working environment, conducting regular check-ins, encouraging collaborations, facilitating opportunities for learning, having a collaborative foundation, and clear communication. These values set Wellspring apart from other childcare centers and make it a unique and supportive place to work.

What does positive guidance mean at Wellspring?

Positive Guidance at Wellspring means that we prioritize building trust and understanding in our interactions with children. This is accomplished through paying attention, listening, and showing genuine care and concern. We also understand the importance of understanding how the brain processes stress and anxiety and use that knowledge to help children regulate their emotions and respond to challenges in a positive way.

What sets Wellspring's natural playgrounds and outdoor spaces apart from those at other schools?

At Wellspring Preparatory Academy, we believe that providing children with access to natural playgrounds and outdoor spaces is crucial to their development. Our natural playgrounds are designed to be safe and engaging, allowing children to explore and interact with their environment in a developmentally appropriate way.

Our natural playgrounds are filled with loose parts, such as sticks, rocks, and sand, and more structured activities, like climbing structures and swings. These materials allow children to use their imagination and creativity to build, construct, and problem-solve in an open-ended and exploratory way.

We also strongly emphasize creating a safe environment for children to explore. Our playgrounds are carefully designed and maintained to minimize potential hazards. Our staff is trained to supervise children in a way that ensures their safety while also encouraging their curiosity and independence.

Ultimately, our goal is to provide children with a rich and engaging outdoor environment that fosters their physical, cognitive, and social-emotional development. We believe that regular exposure to nature and outdoor play is an essential part of a well-rounded education, and we are committed to providing the highest-quality natural spaces for our students.
