What is DIG?

About Us

We are a community of like-minded parents and teachers who believe children need a place where they can explore and learn on their own terms, where emotional, social, and physical needs are as important as cognitive needs, where young children can get outside and thrust their hands in soil, touch, feel, and smell the plants, and most of all, get dirty.

At DIG we also believe that feeling and being safe is a basic human right and we wholeheartedly support Black Lives Matter.
