Naptime
Nap times are extremely important to a child's development and overall mood. We will arrange nap times based on each child's needs and current schedules. However, our main nap time/quiet time will be from 1:00-3:00pm each day. We encourage the children to self-sooth if they are having trouble falling asleep,, or wake-up early (quietly sing, talk, read, or play with a toy) in their own sleep area. Each child is provided a new cot, with a new sheet and cozy blanket (depending on age). Sheets and blankets are washed every week with hypoallergenic laundry detergent.
Mission
We dedicate our time to provide a nurturing and welcoming environment for all children. We focus on the education and exploration of our youth, and put a main focus on connecting with nature. We constantly expose the children to new activities and environments; allowing them to thrive & have fun!
