Physical Health & Development
We take our students outside every day and guide them through stretching and yoga weekly. We teach about vitamins and minerals — applesauce has Vitamin C, the sun gives us Vitamin D!

Everything is exploration
We Are All Explorers
We help our students grow their imagination and desire to learn by finding ways for them to participate in line with their own development.
We break our days into "classes" that range from library time, art, music, health, outside, and lunch. At the end of every day we have circle time where we recap and each student shares what they enjoyed.
Whatever the activity, we assign different "jobs" to different students. If we're exploring Native American culture, the little ones hold the food, the bigger kids hold the sticks, and the oldest students think about how to build the teepee.

Art & Creativity
"Imagination is more important than knowledge." We encourage every student's imagination through painting, cutting, mosaics, little houses — and imagined trips to far-away countries.

What Parents Say
"I have had the honor of working with Martha — her love of children and learning is amazing. She brought love and laughter to my classroom. Parents, this is such a wonderful place for your children: they will be loved, cared for, and taught so much."
"I've seen the program that is implemented and it's one of the best I've seen — I can see hitting capacity very soon."
"From the first time we met Martha and Natalia we felt immediately comfortable with them watching our daughter. The love that they have for what they do and compassion they have for teaching children is tangible when you walk in."
