关于我们

Give your child the gift of progressive education. The Children’s School fosters a love of learning and critical thinking skills through an age-appropriate curriculum based on the children’s unfolding curiosity. We work every day to honor children’s voices, to demonstrate the joy in learning, and to advance each student in their abilities and skills. Our talented, dedicated faculty is adept at guiding our children to think critically, to ask questions, and to take responsibility for their own learning. Our small classes emphasize project-based learning in a relaxed environment that supports the achievement of all local and state curriculum goals. We choose on-going individual assessment of each child’s learning progress and potential, and do not use standardized tests or letter grades. Children learn in a way that honors their voices and helps them make sense of the world around them. Our curriculum incorporates a social justice focus with the goal of creating active participants in democratic society, honoring all viewpoints and needs to find innovative solutions to community challenges. Take a look through our website and visit our campus. Learn more about the philosophy of progressive education, about the projects in our classrooms, and about who we are as a community of learners. Or, join us for an Open House on the first Friday of every month during which you can meet current and prospective parents, tour the school, and experience our classrooms in action. Please contact us if you have questions or would like more information, at 708-484-8033, or visit www.thechildrensschool.info To donate to The Children's School, please visit https://www.thechildrensschool.info/giving or text "Support TCS" to 243725.

  • "At a time when public education is increasingly shaped by political agendas, The Children’s School stands firm in our commitment to a human-centered, justice-driven approach to learning. Education should be a place where children are empowered to think critically, engage deeply, and encounter diverse perspectives—not shielded from them." Michelle Candelaria-Dunstan, Head of School, The Children's School #progressiveeducation #progressiveed

  • The Children’s School welcomes Michelle Candelaria-Dunstan, M. Ed our new Head of School starting April 9. Michelle brings a wealth of experience and a deep passion for creating inclusive, equitable, and justice-centered educational spaces. ? Coming to us from Boise, Idaho, where she served as the Education Director at Anser Charter School, Michelle is well-versed in both traditional and progressive educational frameworks. She’s been at the forefront of inclusion-based education, particularly for neuro-divergent students, and is a staunch advocate for educational reform at all levels. ? With her impressive background, including a Master’s from Boise State University, Michelle has been instrumental in advancing diversity within educational settings, securing essential grants, and participating actively in national initiatives to share best practices. ? Michelle’s arrival marks an exciting chapter in TCS’s story. Her dedication to fostering a learning environment where every student feels seen, heard, and empowered aligns perfectly with our mission. We believe her leadership will enrich TCS’s commitment to nurturing a lifelong love of learning in a supportive and vibrant community.
