The Featherlings
Ages 4-6 years
Where Wonder Blossoms into Readiness
Our four & Five year old program is a time of deep imagination, joyful exploration, and growing independence. Children at this age are eager to understand how the world works. They learn best through meaningful play, nature, rhythm, and creative expression.
A Rhythm of Joy and Purpose
Our days are rich with movement, art, and song. We bake, garden, sew, build, and tell stories, all within a gentle rhythm that fosters attention, cooperation and peace. Every activity nourishes the senses and supports emerging academic skills in a natural, joyful way.
Preparing the Whole Child for the Next Step
We believe that TRUE school readiness is about far more than letters and numbers. It’s about confidence, curiosity, empathy, and a strong sense of self. Through storytelling, handcrafts, rhythm, and imaginative play, children develop the focus, coordination, and love of learning they'll carry into grade one and beyond.
