Where The Wild Things Come To Play; Holistic Play Based Preschool

Welcome! My schoolhouse-hold runs on the belief that children are drawn to experience, to learning, and to each other. I see it as my responsibility to create an environment where each child can reach out for life and touch it, wallow in it, tinker with it, interpret it, and express it.

I value play as central to learning. Free open-ended play in an environment of natural substances, tools, and simple toys provides the experience that young children require for development. I feel that too often in our present culture, as teachers are under pressure to impart facts and information to younger and younger children, the unhurried process of discovery, and the delight therein, is lost.

I own and run a play based in-home preschool for children ranging in age from two to five.
I believe in unstructured play as a learning tool, and so while at times you will find us quietly working on shapes, tracing letters, or practicing telling time, you will also encounter rowdy running, block building with the end goal being that we knock our buildings over with as much noise as possible, and lots of loud muddy outdoor digging and play.
