Children and our Approach
Our Approach
We understand each child to be a unique embodiment of love, passion and wisdom. Your child came into the world to share their authentic gifts. We are deeply called to provide a space where children can freely and safely express themselves, and hone in on their individual gifts. We work to provide a nourishing container to understand your child’s unique design. We purposely keep a small ratio so that we can offer creative programming that is curated for your child.
We are committed to the authentic and unique growth of children. The earth’s rhythms, the elements, our emotions, the arts, and the chakra system and storytelling guide the learning overarching themes for each session of our programming. The elements (Water, Earth, Air, Fire, Sun, Moon and Stars) are the most basic building blocks of all life, simple and singular yet complex and vast. Offering children opportunities to gain a deep understanding, exploration and connection with their the world around them, the world wishing them through their emotions, the Chakra’s, and with each other at this age, builds solid roots and a nourishing foundation on which they can authentically grow with clarity, confidence and balance and blossom wholly into themselves.
Learning
We explore ourselves, each other and the world through storytelling, dance, art, movement, animals, elements, food, singing and of course play. We are excited to invite children into various projects, explorations, skill development and community building. Although we do not teach to specific Common Core state standards we offer a wide variety of foundational social and emotional learning and skill building. Our invitations are not mandatory, yet we work to make them engaging for kids. We will invite kids to express themselves through writing, do real world science, build things that function, solve problems, ask and answer questions, express themselves artistically, and grow into the people they are. We build meaningful relationships with kids so they feel our genuine support for their organic growth and can thus soar to depths of learning that can only unfold in the presence of secure relationships and individualized support.
