Early Childhood Offerings

Whole-child experiences inspired by the rhythms of nature and childhood

A WELL-ROUNDED Approach

OUR PEDAGOGY Prioritizes nurturing every aspect of a child—intellectual, emotional, and physical—through a balanced day that blends story, artistic renderings, and practical experiences. We find that honoring each child's unique needs and development fosters a well-rounded, engaged, and compassionate individual.


The Lighthouse

THROUGH RHYTHM, IMITATION, AND SEASONAL EXPERIENCES, CHILDREN DEVELOP RESILIENCE, CREATIVITY, AND JOY-FORMING THE ROOTS FOR LIFELONG LEARNING.


Monday-Wednesday Early Childhood Program

Caregivers' Circle

Welcoming those with babies to 3-year-olds


Join us for a gentle morning of connection, community, and meaningful early childhood experiences. The Cayucos Caregivers’ Circle is a nurturing space where caregivers and their little ones can gather for seasonal activities, breadmaking, social play, and thoughtful conversations about child development. Each gathering honors the rhythm of early childhood while creating a village of support for families during these precious early years. Come slow down, connect, and grow alongside your child in a warm and welcoming community.

Thursday Caregivers' Circle

Accepting 2026-2027 Applications

If a child has been able in his play to give up his whole loving being to the world around him, he will be able, in the serious tasks of later life, to devote himself with confidence and power to the service of the world.
