" As the Flower
  is the forerunner
  of the fruit,

  So man's
  childhood is the Promise
  of his life."
                     ---Hazrat Inayat Khan

     Central to our philosophy is the great importance we place on creating a home-like environment in which children can simply be children.  Our goal is to nurture shelter and love them unconditionally.  Love that is warm and understanding, firm and clear, gentle and uncritical, reverent and respectful is rich soil out of which children grow into their unique individualities.
     In our home-like setting, careful detailed attention is given to the entire environment.  Food, decor, toys, equipment, activities and discipline are the words, gestures, attitudes and personal development of the caregivers.
     Most importantly, we strive to give children what they need according to their natural development. We expect of ourselves what we would expect of one caring for own children.  It is our privilege to serve your children and you.

 

 

" The beginning of love
   is to let those we
   love be perfectly themselves,
   and not to twist them to fit our own image."
                      ---Thomas Metron
