About the Provider

Description: In our classrooms we believe that a young child approaches the world wonder and openness. We nurture these gifts by surrounding the young child throughout their days with beauty, simplicity, and the gifts of our changing seasons. During this special time in a child's development, our classrooms are infused wit the qualities of warmth, love, and rhythm. Daily and weekly rhythms bring rich sensory and experiential activities such as painting, handwork, practical work, domestic arts, song, and storytelling. Young children learn through the work of play and children are given ample time for imaginative unstructured play both indoors and in nature. Children learn through cooperative games how to respect boundaries and follow directions. Rich storytelling and puppet shows nurture a child's imagination and language development.
