Our Program

Care rooted in connection

Children grow through play, relationships, and discovery.

As an alternative to center care, In A Child’s Path stays intentionally small. Low staff turnover supports continuity of care, helping children build strong bonds, confidence, and a true sense of belonging.

Our approach

We are dedicated to developmentally appropriate care that follows each child’s natural curiosity and individual rhythm.

  • Engage natural curiosity through play
  • Foster social and emotional growth
  • Build close relationships between children and adults
  • Build on each child’s unique interests and skills
  • Create curriculum that encourages exploration

Spanish is woven naturally into daily life through reading, songs, conversation, and activities by staff who are fluent in Spanish.

Room to grow

Children should grow up in communities and neighborhoods with room to explore nature and experience the grass, sky, and changing elements. We go outside every day, rain or shine.

Our outdoor spaces include room for digging, riding, moving, and open-ended play that supports both small and large motor development.

Families are important to us. Community events throughout the school year have included pumpkin-patch visits, fishing adventures, and our Spring Fling.
