The Maple Hill Play Garden offers a small, inclusive early childhood program for children ages 13 months to 3 years. We provide a warm, nurturing environment - with a focus on abundant time outdoors - in which play is the heart of the child’s morning. Teachers work to hold space for children whom our society currently, historically, and systematically oppress. The program cultivates a gentle and consistent daily rhythm that helps to ground children in themselves and a sense of place. Hot, nourishing, organic meals and snacks are provided; along with outdoor gear (full-body rain and snow suits, waterproof snow/rain mittens, etc.), diapers, wipes, and nap gear.
