Welcome
"Caregivers build a relationship with young children that's built on cooperation instead of conflict, trust instead of fear, and personalized needs instead of standardized development milestones."
— Michaeleem Doucleff, PHD
Signal Pine PlaySchool was established in 2020, a year when the Covid-19 pandemic taught us that what we value the most is spending our time outdoors, in all seasons and weather, watching children lead their own learning.
We follow a daily and seasonal rhythm that embraces free-play, time spent outdoors, and child-led exploration of the arts, sciences, and play - naturally provided by the four seasons. We embrace risky-play and age-appropriate autonomy for all children. Additionally, we value meaningful work and will include children in the caretaking of our space, land, and community members.
We serve children ages six weeks old to six years old. We spend as much of our day outside in nature as possible (including mealtimes!)
We are a home-based child care program that is located in Putney, VT.
