Mother Earth Playschool in Hamilton, VA

We had a won­der­ful visit to Mother Earth Playschool a few weeks ago.

As with pre­vi­ous preschool research posts please check the school’s actual web­site to con­firm details, but here are the basics:
Mother Earth Playschool is a small home-based. mixed age (2−5) playschool that includes yoga instruc­tion. You can choose from a 2 day (T/Th, $175/ month) or 3 day (MWF, $250/ month) mixed age morn­ing (9am-12pm) program.

The director/ teacher Jennifer Stow is won­der­ful — she is kind and lov­ing and really does a great job of gen­tly encour­ag­ing kids to stay engaged in group activ­i­ties which included songs, sto­ries, yoga, paint­ing, and even play­ing with shav­ing cream (and that’s just on the day we vis­ited!). Her space is open and com­fort­able — there’s a tree painted in the bath­room, a doll area, tables with small toys and even a rice table. My kids and I spent an hour par­tic­i­pat­ing in her pro­gram and have been play­ing yoga class and fly­ing like but­ter­flies almost every day since.

The loca­tion (right on Route 7 busi­ness just a few miles west of route 9) and is eas­ily acces­si­ble from Leesburg and Purcellville, not far from the Natural Mercantile Organic Grocery store.
