At Manitou, we believe children learn best when engaged in opportunities that allow them to imagine, question, and express who they are and how they see their experience.
We believe this engagement should be cultivated by caring and creative, talented and informed professionals who are mindful of the world we live in and capable of developing the most exciting and proven educational practices.
We also place a strong emphasis on using nature and our surrounding environment to create amazing learning opportunities for our children.
