Welcome to Alligator Pie Spring – Summer 2008 Alligator Pie offers a gentle and stimulating introduction to life before kindergarten. As young children are vulnerable to the influences in their environment I will strive to be a role model worthy of imitation. I will endeavor to provide your child with examples of gentle encouragement and acts of kindness which in turn lend to values of respect, tolerance and genuine caring. We trust that you will find our home warm, inviting and brimming with beauty and harmony. Hours of Operation8:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Monday through Friday
Childcare Costs are due the first of each month. If the first of the month falls on a Saturday or a Sunday you are expected to pay on the preceding Friday. Closed
We believe that integral to the healthy development of the child is the need to build a strong foundation of love for the environment and our community. For centuries we as care givers have used inanimate objects such as dolls to encourage the ‘idea’ of reciprocating or the ‘gardening’ of affection. We are capable of teaching children how to transfer a learning outcome such as stewardship into the context of caring for other humans. The rewards of this transference goes far beyond the harvest of vegetables, herbs, roots and berries it extends into pro social behaviors that engenders respect for the earth and other humans, sensitivity to impacts (the fragility of eco systems), attendance and perseverance. We have three gardens: a Zen garden, an herb garden and a vegetable garden. Our philosophy is to view our programming as growing responsible leadership ideologies in children and extending it to assist the children into seeing the world beyond our preschools doorstep. © Linda Bonnefoy.
