At Curious Minds Discovery Club, we embrace a unique blend of Montessori, Waldorf, Reggio Emilia and play-based learning philosophies. Our nurturing environment fosters emotional, social, and intellectual growth, encouraging children to develop a lifelong love of learning.
Intentionally designed environments including Sensory Spaces, a Cozy Reading Corner, Imagination Station, Water Tables, Practical Life, Shaded and Sunny Outdoor Areas and more!
We allow ample time for play and exploration to nurture children's natural curiosity, independence, and personal growth, empowering them to develop their own unique ideas and deepen their understanding of the world.
Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play IS serious learning! It's the foundation of early childhood education, where young minds bloom, curiosity is sparked, and creativity blossoms. Play is where little learners explore, discover, and develop essential life skills.
Curious Minds Discovery Club offers play based Music and Movement, Gardening and Sandbox Exploration, Stretching, Water Discovery activities, Fine and Gross Motor Development, to name a few!
Our young Explorers will discover numbers, letters, shapes, colors and more - building a strong foundation for Kindergarten, all through play! They'll be having so much fun they won't even realize they are learning.
Rooted in the belief that children are competent and active participants in their education, the Reggio Emilia Approach encourages exploration, creativity, and meaningful discovery. We provide open ended, hands on educational activities that serve as catalysts for curiosity and learning.
The Montessori philosophy fosters independence, self-directed learning, and hands-on exploration. Believing children learn best through active engagement, we encourage curiosity, creativity, and individualized instruction. With mixed-age groups, teachers guide rather than instruct, promoting critical thinking and problem-solving. By nurturing intrinsic motivation, Montessori develops confident individuals ready for academic and real-world success.
The Waldorf education style is holistic and essentially focuses on engaging the "head, heart and hands" - or thinking, feeling and doing. We implement Waldorf philosophies by engaging and guiding our young explorers through integrated art, academics and practical skills. According to Waldorf Education, children ages birth - 7 years live primarily by their senses, therefore this approach strives to provide gentle, sensory rich environments and play based activities to encourage young learners to explore social relationships, investigate the natural world and expand their imaginations.
At Curious Minds Discovery Club, we prioritize the health and safety of every child in our care by maintaining a clean and hygienic environment. We employ a weekly, professional cleaning service that uses high quality, non-toxic and eco-friendly cleaning products.
We ensure that our spaces remain sanitized and safe with frequent daily disinfecting, providing a peace of mind for families while supporting a healthy space for our Explorers.
We are committed to providing our Explorers nutritious, high quality meals and snacks that support their growth and well being. That's why we serve organic, whole foods, ensuring they receive the healthies ingredients, free from artificial additives and pesticides. We carefully adhere to dietary restrictions and allergens, as communicated by parents.
I’m a Christian mom of 7, with 4 thriving adult children—a US Coast Guardsman in Alaska, a Washington & Lee University senior in Virginia, a UT-Austin junior, and a Wake Forest freshman soccer player in North Carolina. Our younger kids are 7, 8, and 11. My husband and I, married for nearly 25 years, are licensed youth coaches and passionate volunteers. Our kids stay active in baseball, soccer, football, volleyball, track, and swim. Since 2005, I’ve homeschooled and contributed to various educational co-ops for over 15 years, with expertise in play-based early childhood learning. I also spent time as a supervisor at Lifetime Fitness Frisco’s Kids Academy. Now, I’m a full-time nanny, caring for a wonderful 16-month-old.
I would love to hear from you and answer any questions you may have!
