Infants/Toddlers+
Age Range: 3 – 36 mo.
Each day, children are provided 2 healthy homemade hot meals (breakfast and lunch), plus 2 healthy snacks. We encourage children to participate in daily activities that interest them. These include outdoor play, yoga, dance, arts & crafts and more. Our daily activities revolve around education, enrichment, and physical activity.
See hours below.
Activities & Philosophies:
A DAY OF DISCOVERY
Every day is filled with adventure. We want to miss none of it. We are out there in our garden with the ladybugs, the finches and the flowers, learning about how this funny little thing called “Mother Earth” works.
GARDENING
Discovery pupils will not only hone in on their gardening skills, but also get to taste their own harvests. From backyard to table, we love teaching healthy, sustainable habits early!
LANGUAGE & LITERACY
Reading, writing, singing, talking. We want your child to be able to express themselves by any means necessary. The earlier we teach, the sooner they feel validation and strength. We love finding new books and songs that can take them new heights.
HOLISTIC EDUCATION
It is our goal to help all children in our program leave with an abundance of knowledge and early life tools. We strive to build confidence in every child that helps them persevere through their school age years. These early years are so important, and we want to gear you and your family towards success.
NUTRITION
The preparation of our food is clean and healthy. We stay away from foods with excessive added sugars. We love organic foods and try to get as many fruits and veggies in as possible. When available we focus on utilization of seasonal local produce, and non-GMO ingredients.
COMMUNITY & BELONGING
We are a team, or some would even say family. Everyone belongs, and everyone is so dearly cared for. Side-by-side we learn about, and from each other. We all have something to share. Therefore, every child enters the Discovery Hut to a warm embrace.

The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character- that is the goal of true education.
