Little Creek Nursery
"All understanding begins in wonder."
- Goethe At the Little Creek Nursery we provide organic snacks and lunch, safe places to explore and test new physical skills, and friends with whom to learn and play. We do not teach facts and figures because we believe when the very young child uses his brain to memorize such things he robs his body of vital forces needed for healthy growth. Our teaching is oral, dramatic, and creative. We provide a morning rich in imagination. Families are welcome to attend our open house in April and complete an application for enrollment. Enrollment paperwork must be completed and tuition paid by June 1 for enrollment the following year. At the Litte Creek Nursery children participate in such daily activities as: baking and cooking circle and finger games puppet plays coloring and painting beeswax modeling gardening nature walks seasonal crafts festival celebrations Morning Rhythm: 8:00 Arrival and free play (indoor and outside) 8:45 Circle Time 9:00 Daily Activity 9:45 Snack 10:15 Free play 11:10 Clean up 11:20 Story 11:30 Lunch 12:00 Pick up or nap Little Creek Nursery teachers are trained early childhood educators. Our director is a trained Waldorf teacher. Waldorf methods are integral to our program. We recognize that in the first seven years children are developing their physical bodies. During this time it is important to support the work the child is doing growing. We provide opportunities for children to engage in periods of active, creative play as well as moments of quiet and calm. Simple toys made from natural materials help to foster the imagination. One of our goals at the Little Creek Nursery is to help families bridge home and school. We realize that young children are open to the world, with no filters to shut out unwanted stimulus. In the first seven years children need to see the world as a place of harmony and beauty. Young children learn through their senses and imitation. We celebrate the senses, fostering a capacity for wonder and reverence. For further information please read our Little Creek Handbook and Fee Schedule. For enrollment procedure see Enrollment Page.
