Our Values
-
Create a Sense of Belonging
Our goal is to cultivate genuine relationships and connections and to create a sense of belonging among and between children, adults, and the world around them. Relationships are at the core of everything we do.
-
Develop an Understanding of Well-Being
Our goal is for every child to develop a sense of self, health and well-being. Our programs and teachers nurture a child’s healthy development.
-
Engagement
Every child is an engaged learner who explores the world with body, mind, and sense. We provide environments and experiences to engage children with active, creative, and meaningful exploration through play.
Why Children in Nature?
The majority of our day is spent in our nature-based themes or our beautiful outdoor kitchen areas. We believe that children deserve regular access to the natural, outdoor space. Children will have the opportunity to notice changes over time, develop a relationship with the space, and get to know it intimately. We believe that being outdoors in beautiful, natural environments is an essential experience for all children. Research highlights how nature reduces stress, increases attention, and fosters healthy brain development. Children have opportunities to interact daily with materials found in nature and in the process becoming thoughtful stewards of the earth. What we love, we protect.
Expectations of All Involved
It is expected in the agency that all conduct themselves in an ethical and responsible manner that reflects well upon the agency, that promotes a spirit of cooperation among all people involved. It is expected that you will be a proper role model for children and each other in your attitude, speech, social interactions, and manners.
Meet Our Staff by Department
“At their previous daycare, my children refused to talk about school. Tantrums on our way down. They love it here. Now, they enjoy coming to school and they talk about their teachers and other kids. Especially in my daughter, I see a huge difference in her social skills."
