elemental.care

We provide the best care for your little ones while you are away for the day in a safe and fun environment. We create magical moments for children sparking their imagination and inspire them to discover the world around them. Our care program centers around what parents want and establish structure and routine for their kids to build a strong and consistent experience from drop off to pick up time. We focus on the basics and reinforce being kind, friendly, and sharing with others.

Core Values

Learning Style

Hands on, active learning is how we play here. We like to add learning into everyday play! We do lots of crafts, sing songs, have dance parties, go on planned outings, have playdates with other kids, watch the occasional movie, jump, swim, and play.

Fine motor skill games, speech and language games, and ASL are part of everything we do. We encourage more "hands on" exploration and minimize screen and TV time.

Philosophy

We believe learning happens in everything we do. Taking extra time to read the signs, explain the "why", and talk about daily life are a few of the ways children learn with us.

We talk about the things we see in the world around us as well as how they make us feel.

Every child is different with their own view, learning style, and learning speed...so there is no push here, just time and love.

Activities

We provide a wholesome and safe indoor and outdoor environment for your child to play, learn, and grow.

A dedicated playroom with immersive learning experiences, and a library of books and puzzles.

Outings and socialization with other kids and families. Field trips to museums, parks, and other events

A wide range and variety of crafts and activities every day!

Special Events

Because you have put your trust in us with your most important and precious thing, your child, we consider you part of our family. Family celebrate and have fun together!

Pajama Parties - As parents, it's tough to have date nights right? Sometimes you need a little time to get stuff done? We offer a Pajama party (at a small cost) once a month where parents can drop off their kids on a designated Saturday night between 5 PM - 8 PM. Due to limited space, this event is reserved for families with reoccurring weekly child care.

Spring Fling - We invite you and your family to our home for an easter egg hunt for the littles, good food, and good times. It's an opportunity for you to meet and hang out with other parents your kids are around as well as us.

Winter Wonderland - Christmas is a time for cheer! We open our home to your family and celebrate the holidays on one special night. We have a special visitor each year, so get ready for pictures and a magical experience.
