Our Programs

  • Infants & Toddlers (0-3 yrs)

    Our infant space focuses on loving connection, sensory exploration, and gentle movement. We follow each baby’s natural rhythms and provide warm, responsive care in a peaceful, homelike environment. Toddlers thrive through imitation and sensory-rich experiences. We provide simple toys, outdoor movement, water play, singing, and structured yet gentle routines that support emerging independence.

  • Preschool (3-5 yrs)

    Children learn through imaginative play, early literacy experiences, rich storytelling, open-ended projects, gardening, seasonal crafts, and guided exploration. We support kindergarten readiness through a whole-child approach—fostering emotional intelligence, communication, motor skills, and problem-solving.

  • Afterschool

    Our aftercare program maintains the same gentle, nature-inspired approach. Children unwind after the school day through: Outdoor free play, Art and handcraft stations, Nature collections and exploration, Quiet story time and warm indoor play, Practical activities like gardening or helping prepare snacks. Aftercare provides a calm, predictable end to the day—rooted in connection rather than overstimulation.
