Best Daycare/Preschool Philosophies For Your Child

If you are considering daycare/nursery schools and wondering about teaching philosophies so you can make an informed decision when choosing your little one’s school, well, we get it. As parents ourselves, we have added our child to a waitlist (while still pregnant) and have asked countless questions to our fellow parents about how different school philosophies work. What and how exactly how do Montessori, Reggio, Waldorf, and Play-Based or Traditional daycare work? Which one is right for your child?

Well, parent to parent, we got this. Our free webinar with Vivvi unpacks the elements of different learning philosophies and how to choose a program that’s right for your child. We have the experts-Lynne Mueller, Early Childhood Education Expert and Director of Learning for Vivvi, and Gretchen Richer, Vivvi’s Director of Family Experience with answers to all your questions!

Our program is designed to support the unique academic, social, and emotional needs of each child, empowering them to thrive in a structured yet flexible learning environment.
