​

Babies thrive when given an opportunity to naturally learn through free exploration, free movement, and free thinking. 

 

Caregivers thrive when they focus on attuning to their child by creating simple environments and predictable rhythms. 

​

Observing children under these conditions can allow for intuitive development of the mind, body and spirit. Parents will feel confident in their ability to meet their child's needs and children will feel confident in taking healthy risks.

 

This approach supports families in discovering the harmony

that comes from establishing trust and joy,

in virtue of their loving relationship.

An EarLy Learning Philosophy

​

Through the teachings of Magda Gerber and Rudolf Steiner on educating the young child, It is believed that early learning is achieved through:

 

🌀Self initiated interactions with the environment and people

​

🌀Free movement and free thinking

​

🌀A natural unfolding of abilities, senses and spirit

🌀Exposure to practical life & natural processes

​

🌀Developing capacities for focus and concentration

​

🌀A nurturing, rhythmic daily experience 

🌀Awareness and care for oneself and others

​

🌀Establishing a healthy attachment to caregivers

​

🌀Simplicity and cooperation 

...and that surrounding ourselves with beauty and natural materials nourishes the soul. ✨
