The Ways of L.O.V.E.
From ribbon dancing to hunting for fossils and worms in our dig pit, young children are encouraged to explore, investigate, and engage with nature. Planting seeds of curiosity, kindness, and compassion for a bright tomorrow. We adore spending time outdoors and capitalize on every chance the weather gives us to be out there running, climbing, digging, planting, jumping, sliding, and swinging!
Domains of Development
-
Language is fostered by demonstrating and actively engaging in clear communication throughout the day; From peer-to-peer interactions, educators' demonstrations of enunciation, and an abundance of terminology and naming of objects, places, people, and feelings, as well as the awareness and respect for other languages.
-
Social skills cultivated through naturally occurring relationships within a safe and supportive environment giving space for each individual to grow into their sense of self among their peers and knowledgeable early education team.
-
Cognitive abilities are met with the intention of laying a strong foundation for curious inquiry, discovery, and expansive exploration fostered by an environment and educators willing to dive into each child's train of thoughtful reflections.
-
Emotional well being gives space for all other domains of development. Promoting a sense of safety, joy, peace, and love goes the furthest in creating an environment for everyone to grow.
-
Physical skills are encouraged by invitations to move freely in a secure space specifically designed for the appropriate development of each child based on their ability at each age and stage. Tools for building strength are readily provided; from digging in the soil with shovels, to jumping from slides to swings, we embrace whole child development.
Family Engagement
Family is at the heart of everything we do. We embrace the Family of each child as if they are our own, and we hope to cultivate relationships that last several generations. When we embrace Family, we are building a healthy Community.
