Little Owl Preschool

This morning Matt and I (with Preston in tow) went on our first preschool tour... Little Owl. This to me, as an SLP was a dream of a preschool based on play skills, problem solving, and getting our children natural experiences to build their minds and nurture their creative souls. It's based on a Reggio-inspired style of learning developed by an Italian. It's housed in a gold standard LEED building with a living roof and walls! They have a chef on staff that cooks all snacks and meals while allowing the children to help (the kitchen is open and in the center). They have a garden and chickens! They have an outdoor play ground designed by the natural playgrounds company (seriously AMAZING). And everything is hands on and child lead!!! What?!?! Of course you pay out your ears for this type of preschool, but so amazing to see that this idea of a learning environment actually EXISTS and isn't just a far off dream! We'll be looking into other preschools as well, but man did we start with a bang!!! Our little Violet would really flourish here... It was NOT your typical academic type setting... But more like beautifully organized chaos that SOMEHOW worked. Almost like the minds of 2.5-5 year olds... Chaotic but somehow purpose driven and beautiful :) Matt had to rush off to work, but I'm excited to talk about this place tonight and break down the positives and negatives of this little school :) more to come!
