Little Meadow adheres to a holistic approach of early childhood education. When we expose children to different environments and various learning experiences, we allow them to explore their self-awareness and gain a sense of the world around them. Once they leave our Child Day Care, they’re fully prepared for the next stage of their young lives. At Little Meadow we believe that children learn the most while having fun, experiencing the curriculum directly and learning about topics that interest and motivate them individually. We emphasize learning through purposeful play. This includes: building with blocks, dressing up, artistic endeavors, experimenting at the sensory table and exploring the natural world. Little Meadow also encourages learning practical and academic skills through the use of Montessori materials such as working with sandpaper letters and numbers, color mixing, hammering, pouring water, setting the table for snack-time and many more. Weather permitting, outdoor play is an essential part of a child's experience. Children climb, pedal tricycles, play hide and seek, write on chalk-boards or paint at an easel.

We are an independent, nonsectarian preschool focusing on creative arts and sciences for children from 6 weeks to 6 years of age. We are open Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. At Curious Minds, we strive to provide a clean, safe, nurturing and educational environment for young children and their families. Within our care, children develop skills that promote physical, emotional, social and intellectual growth. We believe in being supportive of our parents, and we welcome their positive involvement and presence at Curious Minds at all times. We further believe that within our environment, children can thrive and have the opportunity to blossom into responsible and contributing members of our society. We believe when you allow children to experience the thrill of exploration, the excitement of active play, and the confidence and security of a supportive and loving teacher, they discover that fun and learning go hand in hand. When children develop a warm and trusting relationship with teachers, in return children are empowered to believe in themselves. Our teachers and staff are dedicated to nurture and provide a safe and encouraging environment for each child. We recognize that all children have a distinct pattern of development with distinct and differing needs. This is why we offer High Scope Curriculum that will help foster self-learning and decision making in all children. In addition to striving to create an ideal environment for your child, we also have a unique location. The building looks like a luxurious home and parents visiting us love our playground. We are close to the main road and yet located in a secluded place with the kids' playground hidden away from the road and parking lots in a beautifully wooded area. We also allocate resources where it matters most - teachers and educational, nurturing experience. We go an extra mile trying to hire the best teachers available.
