INTRODUCING

LITTLE WILD ONES

An intentional in-home preschool concept designed for curious children to experience extraordinary joy through everyday play.

Here, creativity leads and curiosity is nurtured with intention. Children are encouraged to explore their interests through play, art, literature, and meaningful time outdoors—where nature becomes an extension of the learning environment. We believe early passions shape a lifelong love of learning, and we look forward to welcoming you and your family.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

At Little Wild Ones, we created an early childhood education program to nurture healthy, happy and confident children. Through a child-led practice, we help each child build foundational early-life competencies through experiential learning and purposeful exploration to empower them through early education and life.

We draw deeply from the Italian Reggio-Emilia philosophy, with an emphasis on whole-child and social emotional learning. Our program is intended for children ages 1 through 5 years old.

our personal experience inspired us to create a curriculum for developing the ‘whole child’.

ABOUT US

The idea for Little Wild Ones preschool started from a very real need. At four months old, our son was diagnosed with dysphagia requiring around the clock physical care. Yet, what could have paralyzed us caused us to dig deeper into whole child development — leading to an inspired three-year journey to expand our philosophy for more Bay Area families.
