The style of pedagogy will include (but not be limited to) the following ideas: -eco-conscious living and play -nature-based learning -child-centered, child-appropriate but not age-exclusive -balanced, whole-child, flexible/emergent curriculum that attends to social, physical, cognitive, creative and emotional support and development -philosophies pulled from early childhood experts, including but not limited to Steiner, Montessori and Reggio Eco-conscious Care: Most toys are natural, open-ended materials that allow children to endlessly imagine and create play. Environment is non-toxic. Cleaning supplies are homemade of natural, non-toxic substances that are safe for living things and the environment. Water is filtered. Food is organic, vegetarian and non-GMO. Please note: In my care, your child will get DIRTY! The environment is healthy but not sterile.
