Infant Program (spots are limited).
Infant Program
The infant program is rooted in the principles of RIE, honoring the natural development, autonomy, and competence of each infant. We create a calm, unhurried environment where children are free to move, observe, and explore at their own pace with simple, natural, and open-ended materials.
Caregivers practice respectful, attentive interactions, supporting secure attachment and allowing each child’s development to unfold organically. Time is not rushed, and each moment is approached with presence and intention.
This program supports early movement, sensory awareness, and a strong foundation of trust and connection- without containers.
Children must be 4 months old.
Offered as a 4-day monthly option.
Tots in the Trees
Toddler Program
Tots in the Trees is grounded in the wonder and curiosity of early childhood. Children are given space to explore freely with organic, natural, and open-ended materials, allowing their interests to guide the day.
Inspired by Waldorf principles, Steiner education, and respectful caregiving approaches, this class supports developing independence, movement, and discovery.
Children must be at least 14 months old by September 10th of the Calendar Year.
