Play

From classic rhymes by Dr. Seuss to the magical world of Harry Potter, books are a crucial part of childhood development. The stories children hear when they're young are the ones that they remember later. Reading together with a parent, caregiver, or teacher makes these stories even more memorable.

All children are valued members of the  Pixie Nursery School community, where each child is loved as a precious member of our little family and is respected for being unique. 

Each day is filled with art, music, field trips, learning the ABCs, numbers, shapes, and colors, make-believe fairies, story telling, singing as well as exploring nature in all its wonder. We avoid technology and electronics, preferring creativity and physical play outdoors. This creates numerous opportunities of sensory interaction, which is integral to a child's development.

At Pixie Nursery School, we strive to teach to our children the importance of nature and it's natural cycle.  Children are able to plant seeds and harvest their own vegetables at our very own garden. As part of their education, they feed the chickens, they collect their own eggs and learn how to care for our bunny, our chicken, and garden naturally.  

We prepare our delicious food simply, using classic cooking techniques without added sugar, artificial sweeteners, flavors, or food coloring. This includes meat and chicken without antibiotics or added hormones. Our meat, chicken, and bacon arrives at our door from Butcher Box. We use pasture-raised dairy products, local produce when seasonally available, and only non-GMO ingredients. Our menu is inspired by Adriana's Brazilian heritage. 

We take pride in providing multiethnic, multicultural, and other diverse  experiences for children. Activities such as field trips, celebrating holidays and activities with other ethnic groups, and encouraging children to bring visitors to school enhances their growth. The more varied experiences children have, the wider their range of creative expression. We have seen the positives first-hand that come out of allowing a diversity of artistic expression in our classroom. Children draw upon interactions with people and situations outside of their own environment and incorporate them into their play.
