Juniper Tree PlaySchool

Specialties

We are a Waldorf-​inspired, nature-​based, in-​home playschool located in South Land Park Sacramento. We currently accept 12 students a day. We cater to the age group of 3 to 6 year olds and operate from 8:30 — 12:30 Monday to Thursday. We accept students on a 1-​day, 2-​day, 3-​day or 4-​day a week basis. We serve an organic vegetarian snack and lunch.

As a nature school, our intention is to create a balance of internal and external stimulus so your child can experience a wide range of activities that meet all of their emotional, social and physical needs… while having fun! We provide nature play, creative arts, dramatic play, music, stories, dance and baking activities. We also provide a rich outdoor area for children to develop their gross motor skills and explore the natural world through all of their senses.

History

Established in 2010.

For the last 15 years I have been working with children and their families as a nanny, afterschool teacher, K-​1 teacher, a preschool teacher in a Regio Emilia school, and most recently as a Head Start teacher. The idea for an in-​home playschool was a natural extension of my desire to create an environment that more specifically resonates with what I want to create. At Juniper Tree, I draw on my past experience with children, my own personal growth and education to create a loving, creative and explorative environment for our children.

Business Owner

For me, working with children has been a way to see myself more clearly. I have learned over the years that children always reflect back to me a part of myself that may be hidden or difficult for me to see. Through this understanding I have become a more reflective and compassionate teacher. It is my mission to create a safe and conscious environment where every child is allowed the space to develop in his or her own way and time. I see myself as a loving guide/​teacher who creates a nurturing space to help children learn to connect with themselves, with others, and with the natural environment.
