WHO WE ARE

A Reggio Emilia - inspired community rooted in nature.

Our philosophy, our mission and vision, the rhythm of a day here, and the educators who hold it all together.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Philosophy

Our philosophy is rooted in the Reggio Emilia approach, where children are viewed as capable, curious, and active participants in their own learning. We foster a collaborative environment where relationships, dialogue, and exploration inspire discovery. Our educators act as co-learners and guides, supporting each child's unique journey through thoughtful observation and meaningful experiences. True play, nature, and outdoor learning are at the heart of our program, encouraging creativity, problem-solving, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.

Mission

At Little Earthlings Childcare, we believe every child is a unique and capable individual. Our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, inclusive, and stimulating environment where children are supported with care and respect to explore, grow, and reach their full potential—emotionally, socially, cognitively, physically, and spiritually.

Vision

We envision a learning community where children feel a deep sense of belonging and are empowered through meaningful play, guided exploration, authentic relationships, and a connection with nature. Through our Reggio Emilia-inspired approach, we nurture confident, compassionate, curious, and resilient learners who are inspired to thrive both today and in the future.

OUR DAY

Open and Flexible Routine

We believe that a child's day should not be dictated by a rigid clock. Instead, our daily rhythms at Little Earthlings are open and flexible, naturally following the curiosity of the children. Many of our families appreciate knowing that, rain or shine, we spend 1.5 to 3 hours outdoors every day, treating nature as our living classroom. Here, learning unfolds at the child's pace, and every transition is handled with patience and emotional care.
