My son has been going to The Teaching Home since he was 2.5 years old. He is now 4.5 and when I mentioned Kindergarten the other day, he cried for a long time, because he NEVER wants to leave his home away from home.

Crystal, the main caretaker, is a very experienced, loving, and dependable educator. I love that she is always there, giving my son the consistent experience, kids at that age crave. Especially since I'm hearing about the constant staffing changes in bigger childcare centers and the impact on the kids.

His days at the Teaching Home are filled with play (there are many building toys, he especially enjoys), doing arts & crafts (he brings something home almost daily), and eating healthy meals (all meals and snacks are provided). Kids are even involved in preparing some foods (for example kneading dough for home made bread).

There is a nice outdoor space for them to play, dig in the dirt, and run around.

Wednesdays during the school year, the kids get to attend a preschool coop, where they dive into a new topic each week (eg. friendship, the letter, F, how to be a good friend, read a book about friendship, draw your best friend).

It feels great dropping off our kid there in the morning, knowing he'll have a wonderful day!
