Our Philosophy

  • 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.

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

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

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

  • 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 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.

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

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

  • Nature is the best playground, so we use local green spaces to teach and inspire.
