Nurturing Touch & Communication between Parents & Babies
Baby Massage is an ancient art that has been practiced for centuries. It was first introduced in the western world by Vimala McClure who fell in love with the practice she observed in India while working in an orphanage. The older girls used to massage the babies and they thrived even in the poorest of conditions without proper nutrition.

Curriculum
Elements
Gardening
The Toddler and Preschool Groups have a garden in their outdoor space. Each spring, the children and teachers contribute and create beautiful and educational container/raised bed gardens.
Sport
Children need to develop large motor and small motor skills and cardiovascular endurance. Extensive physical activity is also needed to address a growing problem of obesity in American children.
Art
Kids will love designing and creating puppets and collages, constructing musical instruments and flower bouquets, and painting, gluing, and crafting to their hearts’ content!
Excursions
Excursions form a vital part of a child’s early education. They expose a child to a range of different experiences and enable them to gain a sense of the world in which they find themselves.
Outdoor
Our children benefit from a variety of outdoor play spaces. In addition to our playground, they experience the natural wonders of the forest, the big field, our raised gardens and nature walks.
Math
A preschool math curriculum should be taught using preschool lessons including interactive activities, learning games, printable worksheets, assessments, and reinforcement.
Literacy
A systematic and integrated literacy program promote language development preschool children. The program uses systematic, direct instruction built around a series of weekly books in the classroom.

Why Baby Massage?
“Baby massage is about learning to communicate your love for your baby through touch. You do a particular stroke and she smiles at you and you keep that forever. A great benefit of baby massage is the bonding.” Jill Vyse

Sasha & Scarlet
“Baby massage classes taught me to focus on enjoying the moment, be in the present, read my little ones cues and take direction from her regarding what she liked and disliked making me more in tuned with her needs while still having fun”
-
Gina & Jace
“I would 100% notice a difference in Jace’s mood after his tummy massage – he fussed less in the evening when we would usually experience a “fuss hour” and napped much better.”
