Wild Garden of Childhood is a fully licensed and insured daycare in Northampton, Massachusetts. Our aim is to create a peaceful child friendly nursery, where parents feel comfortable and confident that they made the right choice for their childs care. We believe in a mixed age classroom and try to make a family like environment. The children in our care benefit from continuity of care. Children stay with the same teachers from the time they enroll, until they leave the program. At Wild Garden, time is carved into each day for nature based play, reading, music and art exploration. Wild Garden is specifically designed for infants and toddlers up to thirty three months. We will care children beyond thirty-three months but the goal is to love them up until pre-school.

The music is always on and the space is conducive to early learning and exploring.
