Inquiry Through Play
At Windmill School, curiosity and joy lead the way. Our play- and exploration-based curriculum grows from each child’s natural rhythm and their connections with others. Through guided play, children engage in inquiry—asking questions, experimenting, and discovering solutions—which nurtures critical thinking, creativity, and a lasting passion for learning. Through rich, learner-centered experiences, we also inspire social responsibility and a sense of community. Here, children and families thrive in a vibrant, inclusive environment, where every day offers opportunities for discovery, growth, and meaningful involvement.
