Choosing childcare isn’t just about availability.
It’s about a feeling.
That quiet moment when you wonder:
Will my child feel safe here?
Will they be happy?
Will they be truly known?
At Wow & Flutterville Playgardens, we’ve spent the past 10 years creating environments where the answer to those questions is yes.
Where children are not rushed, but gently guided.
Not overlooked, but deeply seen.
Not pressured, but free to explore, create, and belong.
What to expect at the Open House
This is more than a visit—it’s a chance to experience the rhythm of our Playgarden.
Join us for a joyful, family-friendly afternoon:
What makes Wow & Flutterville Different
Our Playgardens are inspired by Reggio Emilia and Waldorf philosophies—where learning begins with wonder.
We believe:
✨ Children are capable, curious, and full of potential
✨ Play is the foundation of meaningful learning
✨ Relationships are at the heart of everything we do
✨ Every child deserves to feel safe, seen, and celebrated
Here, your child will experience:
🌿 Daily outdoor time and connection to nature
🎨 Art, music, movement, and storytelling
💛 Emotional support and gentle guidance
👩🏫 Teachers who listen, observe, and truly care
Here's What Our Grown-Ups Have To Say
We cherish our community and are honored to share the voices of some of our Wow and Flutterville Parents
