Play Frontier an Affordable Non-Profit: A magical children's wonderland hidden away in the woods, complete with sand mountains for digging, towers for climbing, grass for running, and puddles for jumping that s just outside! Inside we have three classrooms: infant (0-12 mo), toddler (1-2.5 years), and preschool (2.5-5 years), along with space for climbing and reading and cuddling and experimenting and creating. We are right on the border of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, we have endless space for playing, which means endless space for LEARNING! Acceptance Frontier is a place where children are accepted, not just tolerated. We work as a community of learners to create a safe space for every child. This means we understand that children are messy, and we look forward to the messy art, messy feelings, and messy noses. We embrace the chaos. We PLAY. Education Frontier is a progressive childcare. We hold true that in order for authentic learning to take place, you need to experience life with head, heart, and hand. Head meaning knowledge, information, and facts. Heart meaning love, connection storytelling, and history. Hands meaning five senses, reality, and physical truth. We CREATE. Empowerment At Frontier, children are given trust, the most powerful tool of all. We trust children to know their own limits, assess their own risk, and to know themselves better than anyone else ever could. This trust is made possible through engaging relationships with responsive and reflective caregivers. Children are taught the elements of respect and caring through the creation of a democratic classroom, in which children themselves are responsible for developing rules, performing real work to care for their space, taught to listen and hear one another, and given the freedom necessary to find their own voices. Frontier strives to teach children resilience through healthy risks, creativity, and exploration of their environment. We TRUST. Nature Our days at Frontier are designed so that children have maximum agency over their own learning. We find that, in addition to large chunks of time to work on projects, children need at least two hours of outside time per day Rain or shine! This helps reduce stress, build resiliency, and above all builds a relationship with the physical world. It is through this relationship that children learn best - through direct experience with the world around them and all the challenges that come with it.
