Before Summerville, I ran Yellow Umbrella Childcare in California for a decade, then taught in a Reggio-Montessori preschool. My approach borrows from the best of Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and play-based traditions — but really, it's the result of fifteen years of paying close attention to what helps young children grow.
I keep classes small on purpose. Never more than five children, so I know every one of them well.

Tours are Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. They take about thirty minutes. Bring your child if you like — I love meeting them too.
