Our Program
Savanna provides student-directed, play-based, and reciprocal learning for children and follow an approach drawn from Reggio Emilia pedagogy, Maria Montessori’s innovation, and Waldorf’s learning process of thinking, feeling, and doing.
Savanna’s program encourages relationship-driven environments and self-guided curriculum that allows children to direct learning interests that support their individual developing cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and literacy skills.
Savanna Aftercare Enrichment
Savanna’s curriculum add-on programs provide a specialized focus for building skills and discipline around specific subjects. They help develop your child’s ability to consistently engage with a subject matter that is a concentrated area of their choice.

Understanding how food is initially cultivated, and then made in the kitchen from start to finish, helps a child develop appreciation for the process as well as the final product. Our Little Cook program enables your child to have a hands on experience on both ends of the process that will make a lasting impact in their future to be self sufficient.
-
Sharing and giving back being one of the core tenets at Savanna, the Little Philanthropist program teaches kids to see the world beside themselves. The program encompasses implicit practices that are integrated in day to day interactions with those around them, as well as explicit means of sharing, giving and helping others.

Artistic and creative expressions are essential building blocks in your child’s development at Savanna. Our little artists program enables your child to understand how the basics of artistic and creative disciplines work and build on them to find ways to express themselves.

The Little Engineer program at Savanna provides your child with skills to observe the world and understand how things work, starting with the basics and leading to the more complex.
