what we do!
Our nature and gardening activities create an immersive experience for children. They might plant seeds, watch them grow into plants, and learn about the life cycle firsthand. Exploring the natural elements in our outdoor space, such as feeling different textures of leaves or observing insects, enriches their sensory development. Through gardening projects like tending to flowers or herbs, children not only connect with nature but also cultivate a sense of responsibility. These experiences at Susana's Family Daycare aim to instill a love for the environment, fostering lifelong connections to the natural world.
