Luv Muffins Preschool and Childcare
Luv Muffins Preschool and Childcare is dedicated to providing a nurturing and enriching environment for young children, where learning is seamlessly integrated with nature and hands-on experiences. At Luv Muffins, we believe that engaging with the natural world enhances children’s emotional and cognitive development. One of our standout features is our vibrant garden, where children actively participate in growing watermelons, herbs, potatoes and many other fruits and vegetables. This not only teaches them about the life cycle of plants but also instills a sense of responsibility and accomplishment as they watch their efforts yield tangible results. Our curriculum harnesses the beauty of nature to teach children about emotions and facial expressions, using natural materials such as leaves, flowers, and stones to create art and storytelling activities that resonate with their feelings. By exploring the textures and colors found in nature, children learn to express themselves and recognize emotions in themselves and others, fostering emotional intelligence from a young age. Additionally, Luv Muffins is committed to sharing knowledge and best practices with other childcare providers by offering workshops and training sessions focused on outdoor activities that promote learning and development.
These sessions emphasize the importance of outdoor play and exploration, encouraging providers to incorporate nature into their own curricula. Our collaboration with the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) through the Farm to ECE program further supports our mission by providing resources and guidance on integrating healthy eating and sustainable practices into early childhood education. By working together with these organizations, Luv Muffins aims to create a community of educators who prioritize nature-based learning experiences, ensuring that children not only gain academic skills but also develop a profound connection to the environment around them.
