Our learning environment reflects our belief that children are inherently curious, seek relationships with others, and construct their knowledge and understanding of the world through their active engagement with their environment and the people, materials, and experiences within it. Through stimulating situations and hands-on learning opportunities, children are free to develop into bright young minds.
Intentional play with a powerful purpose. We encourage, empower, and build confidence and independence in our children through meaningful ways. Our days of exploration lay the foundation for lifelong curiosity and a deep love of learning.
Through intimate interaction with nature, the child gains sophisticated problem solving, an intuitive understanding of science, and continuous growth.
Meadowlark approaches early childhood education by emphasizing allowing children to engage in activities with a degree of risk, while ensuring a safe environment.
Our holistic, child-centered curriculum nurtures the child across all domains of development. The child is a full participant with their environment.
Meadowlark strives to support the health and well-being of our children, their families, and the local community. We sustain and are stewards of the earth.
We connect our children with the beauty and rhythms of nature, bringing hands-on gardening and observation directly into their hands and meals.
Meadowlark teachers are unique individuals who have a profound love and respect for both child and nature and are committed to your children's care.
