The Irish believe in a place called Tír na nÓg, where you never grow old.

...Tir na nOg existed somewhere between the horizon of the sea.

Welcome to the Land of the Young; an Eco, Organic Childcare home. 

Now, I guess you're probably wondering what I mean by "organic" daycare. One of the definitions of organic is "simple, healthful, and close to nature." This is what I strive for daily in my childcare and my home.  I have a very simply structured program that utilizes concepts from the Waldorf & Montessori approachs to learning.  This approach has been described as an "Aid to Life" rather than a specific curriculum of educational objectives. It helps foster creativity, independence of thought and action, a positive self-image, joy, and a spirit of service to others and to the world.
