Appreciation for nature, wholesome literature, creativity, and art: Children thrive when given the opportunity to use their innate curiosity and imagination to creatively engage with their natural environment.  Schooling isn’t just about checking off all the subjects to be taught each day—it’s about nurturing children’s hearts and minds in a way that will allow them to lead productive, happy lives across their entire lifespan. Our curriculum is rich with nature, art, and literature that supports emotional wellbeing, character building, and healthy way of relating to others.

Developmentally-attuned Lessons with Imaginative Play: Attention spans grow gradually over time along with physical development, and learning that does not respect this reality can be both ineffective and stressful on children.  Our curriculum enhances learning by teaching multiple concepts within each activity or lesson, reducing busywork and instructional sittings so children have more time to implement learning with teacher and peers in their natural world of play.

Affordable Education: Phoenix KinderNest provides its preschool and childcare services for less than what would typically cost for even the most basic of in-home nanny services.  I do this so I can focus more freely on my passion of teaching, less on business promotion, and provide top quality services that are affordable to more families like my own.  It takes a village to raise a child, we all have to work together, and I strive to do my part.

Balance and Rhythm: All of life is influenced by natural rhythms and the need for healthy balance within them.  Developing a natural flow to your child’s days and weeks will help your child build healthy habits that will have lasting benefits.  My intentional and planned curriculum balances a robust and structured academic foundation, with predictable routines and natural, creative exploration to support healthy, and wholesome child development.
