Our philosophy is simple: LET THE CHILDREN PLAY!!

At The Child Centered Home, we believe that play is the foundation of all learning.

Play nurtures every aspect of a child’s growth—social, emotional, physical, and

cognitive—while also deepening their understanding of the world around them.

Through joyful exploration and meaningful social interaction, children in our

program develop a love of learning that will stay with them well beyond their

preschool years.

Our approach is inspired by the warmth and coziness of Hygge, the child-led wonder of

Reggio Emilia, the natural rhythms and creativity celebrated in Waldorf, and the

independence and respect for the child found in Montessori. These philosophies,

combined with our play-based foundation, create an environment that encourages

imagination, curiosity, and discovery.

Children at The Child Centered Home engage in hands-on, play-based learning experiences

that spark creativity, build problem-solving skills, and support innovation—crucial skills

for the next generation of leaders. While much of our day is guided by children’s natural interests and emerging curiosities, we also provide intentional invitations—gentle extensions of play that encourage deeper exploration and learning.

We recognize that every child is unique. Play-based learning is developmentally appropriate for all children, regardless of personality, learning style, or ability. Our goal is to create a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment where children can flourish as confident learners.

An integral part of our philosophy is open communication. We value strong partnerships with families and maintain daily conversations at drop-off and pick-up, as well as ongoing communication throughout the day using our secure app, Daily Connect (dailyconnect.com).
