Happy Baby

We are a Reggio inspired program, emphasizing nature and emergent curriculum. We believe in creating a comfortable, engaging environment where twos and preschoolers can develop and extend their autonomy. We foster the budding relationships between very young children and guide them as the begin to navigate in the world away from home. We try to provide a safe and loving space that is inspiring and challenging.

Each day is different, but predictable. The kids play and listen to stories and music. We sit together at the table to eat fresh organic meals, go outside and play all day in our ample fenced yard, take walks in the rain. We work on developing routines, making lunch, setting the table and clearing our dishes, and working the garden. Special emphasis is placed on positive social interactions between the children, while giving them the guidance and tools to solve their own problems. We strive to follow the rhythm of each child and integrate those rhythms into the daily lives of all the children in our program. Children's interests and experiences guide our pursuits.
