How it all began.
After spending several years working in the field of early childhood mental health in northern Vermont I realized how much of a need there was for high quality early childhood care and education. We decided to look for a space in Stowe and open a school.
In the fall of 2011 we opened with just 2 children. By the spring of 2012 we had 10. We continued to grow and grow.
We moved from one side of the building to the other in 2015 and expanded again in 2017, adding the kitchen and food program.
Since day one we have been a nature based school. We have also always focused on creating beautiful and intentionally designed spaces for children.
In 2016 we expanded and added another classroom and a kitchen. We started the food program in the summer of 2017.
The winter of 2018 was our first year of the ski program at Cochran's. We have been going each winter ever since.
In the summer of 2020 when we were up against reopening during the pandemic, we opened the Annex on Mountain Road. In the fall we added a prek/kindergarten mixed age classroom and expanded our after school program.
