What is Nature-Based Education?
At Daisy Day Care…
We are committed to providing children ages 0-5 years with a high quality learning program and exceptional care in an environment designed to foster individual growth and development while instilling a love and respect of self and others. We truly love having the privilege of helping little ones learn and grow. Living in the Sierras doing what we love is the greatest blessing and now we can share that with you!
Learning, curiosity, and motivation are natural and ongoing processes in children’s growth. We encourage children to be aware of the environment and appreciate the things around them.
Our home is designed to provide both a nurturing home atmosphere along with large dedicated areas for active learning and play. A stimulating environment with spacious rooms rich in color giving each child an exciting world full of opportunities to explore, learn, and grow. We believe in play based learning.
We believe in Free Play because…
- Children are competent beings.
- Children begin building connections and passions when they are very young.
- Children deserve play environments that connect them deeply with nature.
- Children require frequent opportunities to play freely in order to develop in healthy ways.
- Children seek out and benefit from environments that al
low them to explore risk in appropriate ways. - Children have an affinity for natural materials over plastics and materials of technology.
We believe that by supporting free play in nature we are nurturing the next generation of environmental stewards.
DDC Works to create spaces for free play in the outdoors so that every child in our care has a place in nature where they feel free, safe, healthy, empowered and joyful.
