Welcome to Pixie Nursery School. We are an infant/toddler, in-home based, trilingual (English, Spanish, and Portuguese) Early Childhood Education (ECE) service located in Mill Valley, California. We love serving children who range from early infancy through the age of 3. Pixie Nursery School is independent, privately owned, and fully licensed by the state of California. We emphasize children playing as the main learning process under our care. Our main goal is to provide an enriching and nurturing environment to both infants and toddlers with a focus on developmental activities. We embrace Magda Gerber's Educaring approach, which pays close attention to RESPECTING each child at his
or her own developmental stage and acknowledging all individual needs.

At Pixie Nursery School children are encouraged to play uninterruptedly and independently. We encourage each dhild to run, climb, and play with water, sand, leaves, and dirt. As soon as an infant is able to walk, he or she is assigned simple tasks like watering the plants in the garden or feeding our bunny. This teaches children to connect with their bodies and become confident about what they can do. We proudly offer 4 hours of continuous free outdoor play daily. Rain or shine, we will be outside. Pixie Nursery School believes that childhood is a treasured time unto itself and not just preparation for schooling. In our view, skipping or hurrying developmental phases can undermine a child's health and development. That's why our children participate in a wide variety of activities. These include yoga, dance, sensory play, cooking, cutting veggies, reading, field trips, and more.

Pixie Nursery School is inspired by the wisdom of Early Childhood Education. We strive to cultivate imagination, the love of nature, and spirit of inquiry. Pixie Nursery School embraces the RIE (Resources for Infant Educarers) approach. We are fully committed to helping our parents (or guardians) create a healthy foundation for every child’s intellectual, emotional, social, physical, and spiritual growth. We support our children to grow as independent, creative thinkers who will make positive contributions to the world. Pixie Nursery School was founded in 2015 by Adriana Palmeira, an educator and mother whose dream and vision was to establish the highest-caliber ECE facility in Marin County, California. Pixie Nursery School focuses exclusively on educating children from 3 months of age to 4 years old. Our goal is creating specialized routines for each child, instilling in them a feeling of WONDER.
