Philosophy

At Patience and Love LLC, our philosophy centers on a play-based approach to early childhood education. We believe that play is a crucial aspect of a child’s development, providing the foundation for learning naturally and enjoyably. Our program is designed to foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking through hands-on experiences and interactive play.

Curriculum Focus While our approach is play-based, we incorporate a flexible curriculum that adapts to the interests and developmental stages of each child. This ensures that learning is always engaging and relevant. Our activities are designed to promote cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development, allowing children to explore and discover at their own pace.

Core Values

Empathy and Respect: We cultivate an environment where empathy and respect are at the core, teaching children to value themselves and others. Collaboration and Community: Our mixed-age classrooms encourage collaboration, helping children to learn from and support each other, building a strong sense of community. Safety and Nurturing: We provide a safe, nurturing environment where children feel secure and confident to explore and grow.
