Indoor Space
Our media-free childcare environment is designed to meet the needs of children as they grow and develop. Each age group’s developmental space has open-ended items for children to engage with—items that stimulate the senses and encourage exploration, imagination, creativity, and can be manipulated to bring about a new experience every time they engage with them. We understand the impact that a literacy-rich environment has on verbal skill building. Our strong literary environment meets the needs of each age group. We provide cloth books, board books, paper books, books that can be enjoyed alone or with a peer, and books that can be enthusiastically read by a teacher, theatrically bringing characters to life through the use of voices, props, and exaggerations.
Our indoor recess room is an ever-changing and welcoming room filled with enthusiasm. Slides, blocks, books, balls, and more invite children to explore while greeting each other as they arrive in the morning and enjoying the last minutes of fun at the end of the day.
Outdoor Space
Our natural outdoor space has both covered and uncovered areas for year-round use. In our outdoor play space, children enjoy:
An edible garden, which toddler-aged children help to plant and maintain.
A playhouse, with ability to open the door and shutters on the windows, sit inside, or enjoy the surrounding deck and just pretend.
Our bridge, which invites children to run across it as they move through the open play area or take a bike for a ride, observe friends, plan their next adventure, or cross it just for the fun of it.
Tree stumps of varying sizes, encouraging large muscle use as the children climb on top, jump off, sit atop, or step across.
A whimsical, non-edible children’s garden filled with wonderful outdoor decorations: wind chimes to make music and garden gnomes to be picked up and moved around and played with.
A covered play area ideal for using chalk, riding bikes, blowing and chasing bubbles, having a picnic, running, laughing with friends, or cuddling up and contemplating what to enjoy next.
Regular neighborhood walks in our oversized strollers are a favorite activity of many children, as we stroll through parks and neighboring streets enjoying the beauty of our community.
