Hummingbird School is a community and an on-going adventure comprised of parents, students and staff. Our school is a fun and spontaneous place where children are encouraged to explore, interact, create, imagine and express themselves. A space where being a child is supported, nurtured and celebrated. The program is designed to allow children to discover the world through play in an environment that is unhurried, loving and secure.

Most of our art and play activities are open-ended. By encouraging children to create their own projects, our approach is child-led rather than teacher-directed. We feel strongly that play is valuable and that children challenge themselves to work on the skills they need to learn and develop. A focus on play also allows preschoolers many opportunities to interact with peers and practice valuable skills such as empathy, flexibility, problem solving and negotiating.
