A little place with big impact
Every day is an adventure
We mix the best of Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and outdoor learning into days that feel magical and build confident, curious kids.
Learn through play
Dramatic play corners, sensory bins, building challenges. We follow the child and turn curiosity into concrete skills.
Outside every day
Rain, sun or snow — our forest classroom, veggie garden, and treehouse mean fresh air is non-negotiable.
Kindness classroom
Social-emotional skills get the same daily practice as ABCs — kids leave us knowing how to share, feel, and be a friend.
A nest for every age
From wobbly first steps to kindergarten graduates — three age-matched rooms, one big family.
Sprouts
First steps into a world of sensory play, toddler yoga, and gentle routines that feel like home.

Big feelings, bigger ideas. Art studios, story circles, and the joy of making first friends.
Learn more →Explorers
Kindergarten-prep adventures: early literacy, STEM tinkering, and big-kid confidence.

Click through a typical day — flexible but consistent, so little ones feel secure and free to explore.

Wondering how it all works?
What ages do you accept?
We welcome little ones from 2 years (toilet-trained optional) through 6 years. Our three rooms — Sprouts, Saplings, and Explorers — let kids grow with a consistent, familiar community.
What are your hours?
We’re open Monday through Friday from 7:30am to 5:30pm. Full-day and half-day options are available, with flexible drop-off between 7:30 and 9:00am.
Do you provide meals?
Yes — a warm breakfast (for early birds), a family-style lunch, and two healthy snacks each day. Menus are plant-forward, nut-free, and accommodate most allergies.
How do you handle behavior and big feelings?
With empathy, consistency, and lots of teacher-guided reflection. We use a positive-discipline approach: naming feelings, co-regulating, and building repair skills — never timeouts or shame.
Can we visit before enrolling?
Absolutely. Every family gets a tour + a short “meet the room” play visit before enrolling. Book one on the Contact page — we’d love to meet you.
Come climb our treehouse
Tours run Tuesdays and Thursdays. Pop by for a hot cup of tea and a peek inside — we’ll save you a spot.
