INTRODUCING

LITTLE WILD ONES

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

Here, creativity rules, and curiosity is lovingly nurtured. Within our community, children are encouraged to pursue and discover their passions freely, whether through brush strokes, building blocks or pages of cherished books. We believe that early passions in life are a gateway to cultivating a lifelong love of learning. We look forward to meeting you and your family.

Testimonials

Alex is such a nurturing and caring mom. The way she's cared for Maison's development is incredible. I'm so happy more parents will get to benefit from her expertise with whole-child development.

Mom of 2, South City

In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the Bay Area, it's truly special to find a place where kids can be kids. Everything is designed with so much intentionality to help children find and express their natural curiosity.

Catherine C.

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.

Bay Area Mid-Peninsula Preschool

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.
