About

The Lilac House is not just a daycare, but a place for learning and growth for your child as well as your family. Children will receive the highest quality education and care that they deserve, taking into consideration their diverse learning needs, ages, and preferences. During the day, our home functions as a childcare center, and in the evenings and on weekends the Lilac House is also a place for community and family gatherings.



We are community responsive, meaning that families have a say in how our program runs. Each month families will gather for a Reflective Practice Group. Food will be provided and as a community we will review the learning that is happening in the classroom as well as the program itself. Families are invited to propose new ideas for learning experiences and program policies. As a whole, we will decide on how to move forward with the program for the following month. Being community responsive also means making sure that our community is well, and that we are taking good care of each other. A monthly newsletter that is designed to offer relevant resources and news to our families will be sent out with resources on food, housing and work opportunities.



Rather than referring to the adults in our community as "Parents" we use the term "Caregiver" as an interchangeable term throughout many of our documents and our website. Not all adults are biologically related to a child, or feel that they associate with terms like Mom, Dad or even Parent. We believe that Caregiver is a term that better fits the variety of roles an adult might have in a child's life.



Please keep in mind that learning can happen in the classroom, but learning also happens in everyday interactions between a child's primary caregiver, their siblings, and observations they make of the adults that surround them. It is an integral part of the Lilac House that parents are just as curious as their children, and are willing to engage in our community whole-heartedly.
