"As I have so often said, it is true that we cannot make a
genius. We can only give to each individual the chance to
fulfill his potential possibilities. "

Harbour Oaks provides a prepared environment to meet the needs of the child. Children work individually and cooperatively with materials that engage their curiosity through the senses. Each child has freedom to explore and to observe. The materials are scientifically designed to engage the child with math and language, writing and reading, art and music - the tools of abstract reasoning and communication, and the basis of creative imagination and self-directed learning.
