Philosophy

"At Ouray Family Childcare, we believe in nurturing the whole child through a balanced approach that blends unstructured play, play-based learning, and creative expression in art, music, and dance. We provide a safe and welcoming environment where children are encouraged to explore, imagine, and grow at their own pace. Our focus on inclusivity allows children to experience diverse cultures through music, literature, and dance, fostering empathy and a sense of connection to the world around them. Through guided activities that challenge their thinking and outdoor adventures that immerse them in nature, we aim to spark curiosity, enhance cognitive and social skills, and inspire a lifelong love of learning. We are committed to creating a supportive space where each child feels valued, confident, and free to develop into their unique selves. We support every aspect of a child's development—physical, emotional, social, cognitive, and creative—understanding that these areas are deeply interconnected. Our focus is on cultivating each child's overall well-being and holistic growth."
