Our approach
How I care for children
Play-Based approach
I believe children learn through…
real choice, open-ended play, and following their own curiosity.
So I set up my environment to…
offer open-ended materials and protect long, uninterrupted stretches of time for play.
And I choose activities that…
have no single right answer and can be revisited again and again.
I hope children leave with…
a genuine joy in learning and comfort trying new things.
Meals
Breakfast, hot lunch, and two snacks daily
