Today is the last day of the Loudoun County Fair and I have failed to visit once again. The fair seems to hit on a busy week for my family every year, but I plan to go and report back next year. In the meantime I am hoping some local families can fill us in via the website comments feature?

Mother Earth Playschool in Hamilton, VA

February 12, 2008

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.
