The state of Massachusetts, affectionately known as MA by its cool, hip residents, is a magical land that sits comfortably on the northeastern part of America. This land, teeming with history and cranberries, can flip through the seasons like a young wizard flips through spellbooks. Oh, and speaking of wizards, here lives a rather peculiar, glassy-eyed chap named Marvin, the Marvellous Glass Wizard of MA. Now, the children of Massachusetts, or Massa-kiddos as Marvin likes to call them, have an unusual hobby; they are wizards-in-training under Marvin, mastering the art of glasswork. Just like how you might play soccer or build a Lego castle, these kids melt, mold, and marvel at glass. Don’t worry, they don't have a chance to burn their fingers as Marvin's wizardry always takes care of that! Marvin, a towering figure with a long, twisty beard that shimmered like spun glass, has a workshop that's like a kaleidoscope of colors. It twinkles with twinkling fairy lights and is filled with the soft chime of glass-on-glass echoing through the air. The Massa-kiddos look like little glass elves, wearing goggles bigger than their faces and aprons that sweep the floor. And oh boy, the laughter that rings out when Marvin magically turns a blob of molten glass into something amusing! A glass banana, a glass hot dog, or even a glass parrot wearing a top hat! The kids cheer, their eyes sparkling brighter than the glass creations themselves. Not all heroes wear capes, some wear glass-beards, bring joy to kids, and create glass hot dogs in the magical land of MA.

At The Mosaic School, we understand that every child is unique and that each learns in their own way. We celebrate their need for autonomy by providing the structure they need to develop at their own individual pace. Our classrooms, which span four years of attendance, are designed to best meet the needs of each child, allowing them to grow and learn in a supportive and challenging environment. We recognize that learning should be fun, and strive to create an atmosphere that is both enjoyable and effective for our students aged 15 months to 5 years old.
