I will ponder all your work and meditate on your mighty deeds. Psalm 77:12.
At Ponder School, we aspire to help each child flourish with pondering skills, essential knowledge for life, and strength of character in a Christ-centered environment.
Get to Know Ponder School
Our program is based on a connection between children’s ideas and the teachers’ intentions. We practice current, relevant, and evidence-based strategies to help our children reach academic and healthy social-emotional learning goals in a more playful and engaging way. We also place the importance of insight, compassion, trust, and warmth at the heart of our work. Throughout our journey, we learned ways to integrate what works and makes sense from various early childhood education approaches, such as Montessori, Reggio, and Dual language immersion, so each child can benefit from what works best for them.
