Not-For-Profit Information

'Meeting the needs of young children'. Our mission is to provide a 'home like' environment for young children (6 months to 6 ears old). Young children thrive in the presence of devoted people who find joy in living. They learn primarily through imitation and therefore need to be cared for by committed individuals with integrity and warmth who are worth of being imitated. Children thrive in the homelike environment that offers beauty, comfort and security. Healthy sense development is fostered when toys are of natural materials. In Infancy and early childhood, daily life experience is the 'curriculum'. Young children need daily exercise and contact with nature, this is very important for the development of the will and brain.The child's relationship to the adults and to the environment are the two most important aspects through which the child can experience healthy life rhythms and routines.These include res and play, regular meal times, exploring nature, practical domestic activities, social creativity,music and simple artistic activities. Brigit's Hearth provides a practical childcare, which recognizes the spiritual reality of the child.
