At Hutch Kids, we construct a child-centered, developmentally appropriate, emergent curriculum that encourages children's growth and development, including their self-confidence, spontaneity, curiosity, and self-discipline.

As a whole and within each classroom, we consider ourselves a community of learners.

Hutch Kids is committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture for children, families, and staff. Individuals who are male identifying, members of the BIPOC community, and who represent a marginalized community are encouraged to apply given that their unique experiences and perspectives directly supports the need for young children to have both mirrors and windows within our community.
