Programs

We value the trust families place in us and believe parents know their children best. Our play-based programs support families by adapting to children’s changing needs, from Full Day Care to Before and After School Care.

Programs support children’s health and well-being with daily active outdoor play in all seasons. Families can expect a flexible group routine responsive to needs for play, nourishment, and rest.

Full Day Programs:  Toddler, Preschool

Programs include interest-based activities exploring literacy, numeracy, science, nature, and the arts. Additionally, preschoolers enjoy opportunities for seasonal Forest School experiences.

Educators build warm, trusting relationships and create a sense of belonging, while nurturing emerging language and self-regulation skills. Positive group experiences and engaging activities encourage self-expression, social development, independence, resilience, and confidence.

Before and After School: Kindergarten, School Age

Providing a fun, safe start and finish to every school day, our programs support school age children with engaging activities designed to further develop their self-expression, social skills, self-help skills, self-regulation, resilience, and confidence.

Educators model respectful and positive social interactions and acknowledge each child’s growing need for independence and time with friends. Children are encouraged to set goals, make plans, celebrate achievements, and to approach challenges as opportunities to learn.
