Our Teachers

Christy Richey, Director

Christy has her CDA and has been working with children for 25 years. She loves watching them learn and grow each day. One of her favorites thing about what she does is developing relationships with the children and their families. She believes building a strong community allows her and her team to really know each child as an individual and to provide a solid and supportive foundation in the early years.

Philosophy

We believe that each child should be provided with experiences that enhances self-esteem, which is essential in the adjusting, exploring and growing stages of child development. This approach that each child’s learning experience will be nurtured at the proper pace and will give them a strong foundation for a bright future.

Location

We are located in West Lafayette right off Sagamore Pkwy. We are closed to Battleground Middle School, West Lafayette Schools, and Klondike Elementary Schools. We’re just steps away from some walking parks, Wellness Center, and Purdue Campus.

About our program

At our school, we teach the concepts of math, science, engineering, art, social sciences and early literacy through our play-based, child-led curriculum. We use the interests and ideas of the children as a jumping off place. The materials are open-ended and invite discovery. Children make their own investigations and draw their own conclusions whenever possible.
