We believe in holistic personal growth through nature.
About Nature’s Place
Inception.
Nature's Place Early Learning Center, LLC was opened in late December of 2020, when All Aboard ELC staff, Monica Rogier and Stephanie Laflamme, purchased the previous program (All Aboard ELC) thus embarking on their dreams of owning an early childhood program. Nature's Place ELC keeps a strong professional affiliation with All Aboard Preschool & Childcare!
Our Community.
Nature's Place ELC is located inside the community space of the Nottingham Community Church right here in Nottingham. We are a small licensed program (#6974) and offer both full and part-time, year round care for children aged 18 months to 6 years of age.
Our Mission.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Our Environment.
We believe that children have the right to come to, and be supported in, a safe, healthy, positive learning environment where they can successfully learn about the world around them.
Our Teaching Style.
We believe that children should be able to learn at their pace through hands on research in a play-based environment, where they can enjoy the balance of activities that reach every developmental domain and learning style - math through cooking, science through exploring various materials and attributes, art through exposure and use of various mediums language and social relationships through play and day to day interactions.
Holistic Growth
We believe these happen with committed individuals who are dedicated to enriching the lives of every child, through their own personal and professional growth and development.
Our Philosophy.
We emphasize on the "whole" child as an individual and programming is designed to work hand in hand with your child and his or her total development.
Our Commitment.
Our teaching staff are committed to working with families to provide children with the strong base needed to begin their educational journey, but recognize we can not do this alone as the assistance of the family to help each child grow, in every area of development is necessary!
Our Emphasis.
Emphasis is placed on the process of the activity and not the final product and we work to help foster positive social relationships with our 3 "rules" - Be Kind, Be Safe, and Have Fun!
We Welcome Everyone.
Nature's Place ELC welcomes children and families, regardless of race, color, marital status (including civil unions), physical or mental abilities, religious creed, or financial need. We make every reasonable modification and accommodation to support families and children with special needs, as well as staff, by using a team approach and offering training, resources, and referral agencies.
Our Program Objectives.
Our team works hard to ensure that each child develops at their own time and pace. We offer a well-balanced curriculum that includes quiet and active activities, learning opportunities to interact and cooperate with peers and adults, developing positive self-esteem and confidence, gross and fine motor activities, exploring their own creativity, and participation in all areas that also include art, science, dramatic play and more!
