What we believe

Children flourish when they're known — not managed. We keep our group small on purpose, so every child gets the kind of attention they'd get from a thoughtful aunt, not a busy classroom.

A day in our home

Predictable rhythm, room to wander

Our days follow a gentle, predictable shape. Kids feel safest when they know what comes next, but there's always room for the morning to take its own turn.

7:00am

Morning arrivals

Doors open at 7:00. Early risers ease in with quiet TV time while everyone gets settled.

8:00am

Breakfast

We sit down together for breakfast.

8:30am

Free play

Open choice time with toys, books, and blocks.

9:30am

Learning time

Circle time, arts and crafts, and structured activities.

10:30am

Outside play

Fenced yard for running, climbing, and exploring. Extreme heat or bad weather moves things inside.

11:30am

Clean up & lunch

We tidy up, wash hands, and sit down together for lunch.

12:30pm

Nap & quiet time

All children rest until 2:30. We can't make them sleep, but everyone stays on their mat quietly.

2:30pm

Afternoon snack

Snack to refuel after rest.

3:00pm

Outside play

Another round outdoors when weather allows.

4:00pm

Wind-down

Inside time, a movie, and getting things together for the trip home.

Come visit. Bring your little one.

The best way to know if we're the right fit is to spend an hour with us. We'd love to meet you, and see what your child does with our blocks.
