Description

Growing Up is a home-based Montessori & Waldorf Inspired preschool for tiny children, offering a holistic, delightful childhood experience and nature-based program, for little ones between 18 months to 4 years old.

I designed a unique program -a Montessori & Waldorf Inspired Hybrid- a blend of seasonal celebrations, nature discovery, art and creative play, engaging them through age-apropriate learning, storytelling, and daily ventures.
We experience all that childhood entails, from nature experiences, outdoor trails, fingerplays and songs, books, story baskets and messy play, mud pies, jumping in puddles, chasing insects, tasting snowflakes and rain drops...

After observing the little ones in my care, I strongly believe that my unique program is an open door to a world of wonder, magic, the innocence of childhood, and enhances the little ones' creativity, curiosity, self help, independence and a genuine love for learning. Our play time and magical childhood memories are being enhanced daily!
We love jumping in puddles, chasing butterflies, rolling down the hills, going for walks in the rain, and making mud pies during Spring, Summer and Autumn. We love making snow angels, sleding down the white fluffy hills, painting rainbows on the snow and catching playful magical snowflakes in the winter.

I maintain a remarkable level of cleanliness. Our playroom is sunny, spacious, cozy, and well organized.
My childcare philosophy is 'Teach by Teaching, not by Correcting', and it's based on sensitive observation, structure, love, consistency, and respect.
