Our Philosophy 

HEAD, HEART & HANDS

( Thinking, feeling & doing )

We believe that play is the heart of early childhood and the key to creative thinking later in life. At the Pond we adhere to this holistic approach.​

Children are given plenty of time and space for exploring the world around them! Allowing children to use all of their senses during exploration builds confidence, promotes creativity and provides them with the stimulation their developing minds crave. 

​

Our program emphasizes nature and natural objects. When you enter our cabin, you will notice there will be toys made of wood and other natural elements. We do not have any screen time at the Pond.

​

At the Pond we encourage community. Each morning the children gather around the table for snack, share laughs and stories together during circle time and learn how to kindly communicate with each other.

​

When we expose children to a wide range of environments and experiences they can develop numerous interests and capabilities. We allow children to explore their self-awareness and gain a sense of the world around them throughout years of exploration, invention and discovery.
