    Holding Wonder in the Palm of a Hand

    By Laura S. Yee, PhD. | October 14, 2025
    A close-up shows two hands in the foreground and two hands in the background, both cradling a superworm in each.

    When you walk into Grace on any given morning, there’s a hum — the kind that only happens when curiosity fills the air. This morning, I had the privilege of…

    “I Did It!”: Why Self-Efficacy—Not Just Self-Esteem—Matters in the Early Years

    By Laura S. Yee, PhD. | September 16, 2025
    A preschool girl looks at the camera while standing within a wooden play structure outdoors.

    Last week, one of our two-year-olds scrambled up the rope ladder to the top of our new wooden tower. She paused, looked at me, and shouted with delight: “I did…

    ✨ Published! ✨ We’re celebrating our incredi ✨ Published! ✨
We’re celebrating our incredible art teacher and atelierista, Ms. Boritz, whose article, “The Aesthetics of Togetherness,” was published in Innovations in Early Education: The International Reggio Emilia Exchange, a journal published by the North American Reggio Emilia Alliance (NAREA) that focuses on the Reggio Emilia Approach to early childhood education. 
Her peer-reviewed piece highlights the powerful role beauty plays in democratizing learning and the spacious possibilities created when we listen to and facilitate the 100 languages of children. At Grace, we embrace the unique development of each child as a capable human growing alongside peers, living, creating, and building together in solidarity — a perfect reflection of Grace’s Reggio-inspired approach.

Beginning with a trip to @cesrockvillemd, where Jen Danish got to see recent graduate Elina thriving at her new school, more 2025 grads gathering at Community Day, 2023 graduate, Cameron, representing Holy Trinity in their championship in soccer, and Class of 2023, Rowan, Olivia and Veronica reuniting for birthdays and on the volleyball court! 

🫶We are so proud of our graduates and always so happy to hear their updates and stories post Grace. We are grateful to see them return to the Gryphon nest too.

    From Awe to Wonder to Curiosity🔍🌳 From our o From Awe to Wonder to Curiosity🔍🌳
From our own 11-acre campus to the forest trails and farmlands of the DC metro area, our students take their learning outside! Guided by curiosity and wonder, they explore ecosystems, make observations, and spark new questions about the world around them. Every adventure deepens their love for learning—and for nature itself. 💚
