The Child & Family Institute programs focus on families. We strive to support every family, create opportunities for joyful play, encourage rituals and traditions, and build a caring community.

Our prepared environment is based on the teachings of Maria Montessori. We encourage the natural development of children and encourage their growing independence.

Parents are encouraged to let their children follow their hearts as they make choices within a spiritual environment we call “the Meadow".

Both parents and children experience the magic of this approach as they laugh, play, share, listen and love together. Parents feel comfortable in this environment because it is in many ways an extension of their own homes.
