A home-based Montessori inspired Preschool and Daycare.

                                                 
                                        I believe in quality childcare for all children, especially in the early childhood years.

About our Program 

Our curriculum focuses on providing children 18 months - 6 years the opportunity to learn by providing experiences that foster to their developmental stages. The activities and experiences are set in a prepared environment that promote the child's social emotion, intellectual and physical development. My goal is to care for the whole child and their individual needs.

Inspiration 

Montessori:

The first six years of a child's life are the time of the "Absorbent Mind".  This is why I am dedicated to providing a rich environment of activities. These materials and activities stimulate and engage children in their work and learn to love and respect each other and our earth.

Respect for the child   I am passionate on the belief that Dr. Montessori’s philosophy provides the child with motor skills, sensory input, cognition and ultimately great joy and pride from mastering challenges all on their own.

Reggio Emilia:

Reggio Emilia, is based on relationships and interactions. Reggio is a child oriented philosophy that builds on the children's interest. 
It identifies the classroom environment as the “third teacher.” The first being the parents and the second being the classroom teacher. Giving children the opportunity to work with natural materials and open ended toys.
