Exploring, Learning & Nurturing
Philosophy
Honeypie Nature Playschool is a play based and nature-based playschool program within a home away from home environment with a blend of preschool/playschool. Honeypie Nature Playschool provides early childhood education through ‘Exploring, Learning, and Nurturing’ while interacting with children in a mixed age group, and with the aid of a primary caregiver.
We believe in the notion of free play in a preschool/early educational classroom, or as we refer to it, “playschool.” We believe children learn through play. Enabling children to learn freely in fun and interesting ways, a child becomes both a learner and a teacher. We provide a mixed age group in the program, which encourages children to "explore, learn, and nurture" with one another. Children truly do learn from their play and interactions with one another.
We strongly believe in learning in the outdoor environment. Research has proven that nature brings peace in times of stress/depression. Exposing our children to as much outdoor time as possible, becoming immersed in the outdoor environment, naturally decreases a child's risk in becoming overstimulated, stressed, depressed, and reduces a child's risk of becoming ill.
We believe in partnership with family and the community. Family and the community work together to raise our young children-our future! "It Takes a Village to Raise a Child". Early Childhood is the stepping stone that enters children into the rest of their life. It is important that this stepping stone is a strong and sturdy one.
Mission
We strive to provide our children, families, and community with high quality care and education in a nurturing home away from home environment; supporting our children’s growth and development with play-based child directed care and programming. It is our goal to reconnect our children, families, and community back to nature and the great outdoors-Explore, Learn, and Nurture.
