Our Philosophy

  • Mother and child painting outdoors

    The parent or the primary caregiver is a child’s best teacher, so we ask that they sing, dance, model and be engaged throughout class.

  • Group of adults and children sitting in a circle in a tropical garden setting, engaged in a group activity with greenery and palm trees in the background.

    Mindfulness is critical to early childhood development, so our classes create space to slow down and be present.

  • Children playing with toy cars and blocks on a mat outside in a park or garden setting.

    Relationships are key to successful parenting, so we nurture connection and friendship in class.

  • Outdoor group gathering with adults and babies on mats under a stone canopy, surrounded by greenery.

    We empower parents and caregivers with resources, so they have the confidence to trust their intuition, problem solve, and get support when needed.

  • Child painting a cardboard box outdoors

    Our play materials are open-ended and multisensory to encourage discovery and creativity. We focus on the process of exploration rather than the outcome.

  • Children playing with a doll in a purple plastic tub outdoors

    Children learn and participate at their own pace, so we encourage caregivers to let the child lead. Some children dive right in, whereas others prefer to observe.

  • Child playing with soil in green container, holding yellow shovel, outdoor setting, other children in background.

    Children are capable, thinking beings, so we treat them with respect. We follow their cues and encourage independence whenever appropriate.

  • Toddler in a pink floral dress pointing at small yellow flowers next to a tree in a garden.

    We model an appreciation of earth’s wonders through our curriculum and play tools to foster environmental stewardship from the beginning.
