Birdsong Play Garden

We are Steve and Johanna. Between us we have nearly thirty years of experience working in education and with children. We run a licensed, play-based, outdoor preschool in West Davis serving children, 18 months through 5 years old. Our program is open Mondays - Fridays 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM. We currently have openings for part-time and full-time care.

Our shared study of Waldorf education is the foundation of Birdsong Play Garden. We impart the children's days with rhythm, beauty, and wonder in order to cultivate these qualities within each of them. Additionally, Resources for Infant Educarers (RIE) largely informs our work, as we patiently support the young child's developing emotional life. We are eager to explore other approaches as we tend to the blossoming of those in our care. We also look forward to creating a culture of learning with the parents we work with, as ultimately, you are your child's first teacher. Through shared efforts at home and school, we can weave a supportive nest in which the young child can thrive.

Each day includes ample time outdoors, explorations of the greenbelt adjacent to our backyard, music and song, puppetry and storytelling, and a cultivation of caring for our surroundings together. We are humbled and thrilled to be working with young children! Check out our website for more information about our program and steps to apply or simply message us here. We look forward to learning more about your little songbirds!
