The Nature Nursery School at Hollyhock Cottage

Mission Statement: to provide loving home based child care and to foster healthy relationships with each other and with nature.

The Nature Nursery School (and Hollyhock Playgarden) is a licensed “family childcare home” that provides loving home away from home care at Hollyhock Cottage. Ellie Taylor’s inspiration comes from her time in the Waldorf School’s Kinderhaus and from Ellie’s continuing education with LifeWays early childhood child care. The Nature Nursery School builds on this loving foundation and incorporates the principles of Forest Pre-schooling to allow time and space for the little ones to experience the wonder of nature, in all seasons, and in most weather!
