Early Childhood

Our Early Childhood programs attend to children’s unfolding
capacities and awakening interests and meet their deep devotion to
life with a gentle, loving environment. Young children imitate and
absorb their surroundings deeply. At Hartsbrook great consideration
is given to the children’s play environment, which is created to be
beautiful, healthy and natural.

In addition to a nurturing space, we also offer rhythm and balance in
daily and weekly schedules and opportunities for children to
experience new social interactions in a safe setting. Our programs
provide the foundation for developing creative thinking and sound
character through activity, imitation and imaginative play.

New Early Childhood Program!

Morning Rose

This new program is based on a deep understanding of the needs of the 2 to 3 year old child and is designed to meet the child at their specific developmental phase. Free play, conscious care giving and an unhurried atmosphere foster joy and self confidence and allow the children to learn through doing.
