About Us:

At Chickpeas, we encourage exploration and discovery. We employ an emergent curriculum and create units of study that stem from the children’s interests and teacher observations of their curiosities and play themes. We emphasize social and emotional development, parent involvement, and community engagement. We aim to create a nurturing first school experience for children that fosters a lifelong love of learning and a deep respect for diversity, community, and justice. Chickpeas kids are learning how to interact with one another and the world around them. Teachers provide vital guidance, which helps children figure out how to resolve disputes, handle frustrations, and collaborate constructively. Chickpeas educates for social justice and uses an anti-bias lens. We talk openly about difficult topics and help children develop the critical thinking skills that we hope will make a positive impact on the world.
