At Totally Awesome, we believe childhood is a time to explore, wonder, and lead with curiosity. Rooted in the values of the Reggio Emilia philosophy, our approach places children at the heart of everything we do, viewing them as capable, curious, and full of potential.
Through The Awesome Approach, a blend of Reggio Emilia, Montessori, and Waldorf philosophies, we create an environment where children feel empowered, respected, and excited to learn. Our classrooms are designed for imaginative play, hands-on learning, and personalized education that supports each child’s development.
In our thoughtfully designed environments, children are invited to investigate their interests, collaborate with others, and express themselves in endless ways.
We focus on:
Social-emotional growth through empathy and connection
Language and communication through meaningful dialogue and storytelling
Outdoor exploration that sparks wonder and respect for the natural world
Creative expression using open-ended materials and artistic freedom
Critical thinking and problem-solving through real-world experiences
At Totally Awesome, children are empowered to take the lead in discovering who they are, how they learn, and the kind of world they want to help create.
