We believe every child is capable, curious, and deserving of a safe, nurturing environment to grow. We support the whole child—emotionally, socially, physically, and cognitively—through a nature-based, play-centered program. Learning happens both indoors and outdoors, with hands-on experiences that foster wonder, resilience, and joy. Our approach is grounded in current research on child development, mental wellness, and trauma-informed care, guiding us to create emotionally safe and developmentally appropriate spaces where all children can thrive. We are committed to inclusion and equity, welcoming children of all abilities and backgrounds. Each child’s identity and experiences are respected and celebrated daily. This philosophy shapes everything we do—from curriculum and materials to family partnerships and staff training—ensuring Chickadee Ridge is a place where every child can become their best self. chickadeeridgelc.com Childcare, daycare, early learning, infant, toddler, preschool, nature, outdoors, farm, ERDC, Eagle Creek, Estacada
