Description: The teaching philosophy of Field, Farm and Forest is best described as "emergent curriculum through nature immersion". Instead of developing a specific curriculum, we allow students to explore their natural environment, letting their inherent curiosity create organic opportunities for learning. As teachers, our role is to facilitate this natural inclination for learning. We do this by creating a safe, enriching and engaging natural learning space. We follow the children as they explore, allowing and expecting differences in development and learning styles for different children in the same age group. As the children show interest and aptitude in different areas (like reading, math, writing, art and science concepts) we bring in materials and guidance to help the child extend their skills. Teaching staff, parents and visitors will introduce seasonal, creative projects, songs, circles and routines to enhance the learning environment, but we believe strongly that the students are their own best leaders in their learning.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
