"The child is truly a miraculous being..."
-Maria Montessori
Philosophy
We have developed an approach for raising children that cultivates a love of learning through 5 areas of growth.
Movement: We are always moving whether it is running around, pulling, balancing, wiggling or drumming. Movement in the early years is a key input for learning.
Curiosity Based Learning: We introduce new concepts and allow the children to guide the learning.
Environment: We have curated an indoor environment that is meant to stimulate thinking and curiosity. We have a large outdoor classroom that allows children to connect to the earth.
Nutrition: We believe that good, healthy food helps fuel humans to feel and do their best.
Community: We build social skills and catapult our learning when we work together. Our family community is built through social events.

Ms. Cecilia
Ms. Cecilia joined our team in July 2022 and quickly made her way into our hearts.
Cecilia is an active mother of two children, ages 8 and 12. She is always adventuring with her kids on the weekends. She loves to read and dance. Her gentle spirit and incredible patience have been an integral part of our daily lives. We are all so blessed to have her on our team.
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. I love spending my days taking care of children. I majored in Kinesiology with a focus on Early Childhood physical development. I opened my first daycare while in college and continued it until my third child was born. I took a quick detour (10 years goes fast) to be a pastry chef while my kids were growing. We chose a home in Alamo we wanted to share with young families.
I am a mom of three, twin teenage boys and a teen girl. I share my life with my husband, George. My kids were educated in a parent participation school and I enjoyed working with all the students several days a week. I was trained there in positive discipline and learned how valuable community is to raising capable kids. I am an avid reader and love to learn. Despite being a pastry chef, I have a strong passion for healthy living. I love to be outdoors whether it is reading in the sun, taking long walks on the trail or tending to the garden. I believe the beauty of life is in the every day things, the things we often overlook but collectively make us who we are.
Ms. Sendi
Ms. Sendi joined our team in May 2023. Her formal education is in dental hygiene but her life education has been helping to raise her siblings. Her gentle voice and warm laugh make our days brighter. She is helpful and patient with the children and our babies adore her.
