Sitter in Phoenix, Arizona

Arcadian (Adj.) idealized country life; "a country life of arcadian contentment"; "a pleasant bucolic scene"; "charming in its pastoral setting"; "rustic tranquility" At Arcadian Day School, we are intent on embodying the arcadian way of life by incorporating a garden-based theme and creating a calm, peaceful, and aesthetically pleasing place for your children to learn and grow with respect to mind, heart, and body. Our natural, organic focus with garden spaces, fruit trees, and chickens to tend allows children opportunities to take part in the nurturing activities of life. We build upon this innate desire to nurture a healthy, loving relationship within our self, our classroom, and beyond.
