Our Difference
For 4 months – 3 years
At Sandbox Nursery, we believe early childhood is a profound and formative time — one that should be met with intention, respect, and deep care. Our program is not your typical daycare. It is a thoughtfully curated, Reggio-inspired, play-based environment where children are free to explore, express, and truly be themselves.
What Sets Sandbox Nursery Apart
Reggio-Inspired Learning Through Play
We follow a child-led, inquiry-based approach where learning unfolds naturally through play, conversation, and exploration. Children are encouraged to make choices, take the lead, and discover their world with wonder and curiosity.
A Nourishing Space to Grow
Sandbox Nursery is a warm, organic environment where children can learn, play, and grow in a way that feels safe, calm, and inspiring. With soft lighting, natural wood elements, and earthy materials, our space invites creativity and peace.
Encouraging Self-Expression and Thinking Skills
We deeply value each child’s ability to express themselves and engage in thoughtful interaction. We foster communication, emotional awareness, problem solving, and logical thinking through open-ended activities, collaborative play, and daily routines.
Small Group, Big Heart
Though we’re licensed for 14 children, we intentionally care for only 7 to 8 at a time — allowing for strong relationships, individualized care, and a more peaceful, community-based experience.
Organic, Mindful Living
From our healthy, organic snacks to the non-toxic materials we use daily, our commitment to simplicity and wellness is woven into every aspect of our program.
Consistent, Trusting Relationships
Your child is cared for by the same nurturing caregiver each day — building a sense of trust, consistency, and emotional security that’s essential for growth.
No Timeouts, Just Understanding
We guide children through gentle redirection and connection, not punishment. Our approach supports emotional development by helping children identify feelings, work through challenges, and build respectful relationships.
Purposefully Designed, Beautifully Simple
Every detail — from the layout of the room to the textures of the toys — is chosen with purpose. We believe beauty, order, and nature all play a role in how children feel, focus, and flourish.
