planting the roots of education
Welcome to Nature's Way of Learning
At Nature's Way of Learning we provide care for children ages 6 weeks to 12 years in an organic manner. This means we allow children to grow and develop at their pace, with gentle guidance and encouragement to gain the skills needed. We teach using methods inspired by Reggio Emilia that allows children to explore their curiosity with hands-on educational learning and through exploration and play. We believe that social and emotional development is just as important as the ABC's and 123's!
At Nature's Way of Learning your child will spend a great deal of time outside, in comparison to most childcare centers. Children will spend time with their friends and caregivers working on their self-esteem, self-worth, self-respect, and how to care for and respect others and the world around them. Children also have the opportunity to help with the small garden and animals on the property. Along with social and emotional development, children in all classrooms begin learning a routine and structure. We work on academic skills through hands-on play and experiences. Our Nursery-Waddler classrooms use a creative curriculum full of art and sensory exploration. Our Toddler-Pre-School classrooms use an immersion curriculum with hands on learning. Our Pre-K classroom uses Learning Without Tears for Pre-K. This is the same curriculum that Merrimack Public School implement in their Kindergarten classrooms.
​​Our teachers are encouraged to take pride in their classrooms, and create an extension of home. What that means is, not only are they building relationships with your child, but they are building a relationship with you, the child’s caregiver. We strongly believe in open communication and feel that we are an extension of your family and home. This not only allows us to care for your child in a more productive manner, but it creates a safe and trusting environment, which is so important when finding the right childcare center.
