Melody's Pond

Melody's Pond Melody's Pond Childcare embraces a play-based education inspired by the educational philosophy of Rudolf Steiner, a German philosopher and educator.

Our holistic approach emphasizes imagination, freedom, and experiential learning. Child Care Philosophy

At our family child care, we believe that a "home-like" setting is the ideal alternative for working parents. Our small, secure environment supports children's development during their most formative years. By offering a home away from home, we create a community where children of various ages can play, socialize, and learn together. Our commitment to providing quality child care includes:

A Safe Environment: Prioritizing the physical and emotional safety of every child. A Nurturing Environment: Supporting each child's emotional growth and well-being. A Learning Environment: Promoting intellectual and social development through play and structured activities. A Positive Approach to Discipline: Encouraging respectful and constructive behavior. Unconditional Love: Fostering a loving and supportive atmosphere where every child feels valued.

Why Teachers do Anti-Bias Education:

Anti-Bias work provides teachers a way to examine and transform their understanding of children's lives and also do self-reflective work to more deeply understand their own lives. The heart of Anti-Bias work is a vision of a world in which all children's particular abilities and gifts are able to flourish in this world. This in turn gives...
1-Families a sense of belonging and contributing members of society
2-Children a joyful place of learning
3-Families the racecourses necessary to help mature their children
4-Families feel safe are at [peace and in good health in their communities.

Anti-Bias Education for young children and ourselves

Our Story

Melody's Pond Preschool is a year-long private Early-Childhood School focused on encouraging and supporting the academic and social growth of the whole child. Our personalized blended-philosophy brings knowledge from Montessori, Traditional, and Play-Based fundamentals. We believe that no one Philosophy is a perfect fit for every child. Melody's Pond program is based on the respect for the uniqueness, talents, abilities and dignity of each individual student. This approach in education and childcare allows children the freedom to experience their own creativity, explore their world around them, and develop their inner strengths and resources in different setting throughout their day at preschool. Mutual respect and cooperation are encouraged, along with academic learning, socializing, problem solving, and of course, fun. It is our belief that children who experience this blended-philosophy delight in their sense of independence and accomplishments, accept responsibility, like and respect themselves and others. These children will continue to explore and discover with confidence and enthusiasm and have strong foundation for further academic and social success.

Our Preschool program will allow children to learn to make choices from a wide variety of creative materials within a structure environment. These activities include academics, paint, clay, block, puzzles, dolls, and other toys and learning curriculum where children lend themselves too imaginative and fantasy play. On our playground, climbing structures and tricycles help develop large muscles coordination. A typical day of our preschool class include circle time, art, science, cooking projects, stories, outside play, music time, fieldtrips, special activity guests, and kindergarten readiness for children getting ready to enter grade school. For many children, this is their first social and academic experience with a group of their peers. Through structure, they learn to handle themselves in a variety of activities where they self-reliance and responsibility, and to gain a sense of self within the larger environment. As for each child, the most important thing they learn at Melody’s Pond is…

"I am a respected talented individual"
