Enrichment School
Spring 2025 - Schedule Consult Below
We are SO EXCITED to announce The Enrichment School at Loveland opened August 25th of 2024 for ages 3-6 (fully potty trained). We will be offering one to four day a week programs M-TR from 9am-12noon.
​
Our philosophy is something you won’t find anywhere else, as our approach is uniquely catered to each child and family.
Some things that make us unique.
-
Our 1:3 ratio is how we better foster learning, creativity and exploration of the inner child.
-
We teach self regulation not discipline. If a child needs individual attention, our trained staff works one on one to help meet your child’s needs.
-
We offer child-led learning, where we use your child’s internal guidance to promote their learning. Our literacy classes are also child-led, meaning we move at your child's individual pace by keeping lessons light, engaging, whimsical and fun during these early years.
-
Our classes take place primarily outdoors, as we believe nature and the environment at Loveland offer the most authentic and meaningful setting for children to learn and grow. Some portions of our literacy work are held indoors to create a cozy and focused atmosphere when needed.
-
Our daily parent discussions help strengthen the connection between home and school, inviting families to take part in each child’s growth and learning journey. We also provide ongoing literacy updates, individual assessments, and semester family meetings to ensure each child’s development is supported with care and intention.
-
Our animals, including our beloved miniature donkey's, play an important role in daily life at Loveland, encouraging gentle bonds, teaching compassion and care, and nurturing a natural sense of responsibility within each child.
-
Cooking is a weekly part of our program, giving children the joy of creating wholesome foods together. Many of our ingredients come straight from the gardens of Loveland, allowing children to experience the full circle of growing, harvesting, and preparing their own food. We do our best to limit refined sugars, GMO ingredients, and gluten, as we believe these are not in the best interest of a child’s physical and emotional development. Loveland is a dye-free school.
-
Starting from seed, each child can plant, nurture, and harvest their personal choices of flowers or vegetables—an experience that connects them deeply to the rhythms of nature and the joy of growth.
-
Our weekly rhythm weaves together experiences in nutrition, animal care, inner self teachings, music, literacy, art, fairy tales, and folklore, along with gentle phonetic practices. Inspired by Waldorf philosophies, we integrate storytelling, imagination, and rhythm into learning as we nurture the whole child in body, mind, and spirit.
-
With two fully bilingual teachers, Spanish at Loveland is gently woven into our daily rhythm through songs, stories, and conversation. Children begin to absorb the language organically as they explore colors, numbers, and simple expressions in a joyful, natural way of allowing the beauty of Spanish to become a living part of their play and learning

Our daily schedule of activities.
Please note - Loveland is CHILD-LED, this means we flow with the energy of the group we are serving each day. That being said, below is a general guideline of what we do daily and may or may not be a direct expectation of what your child will receive on a daily basis.
Daily Schedule for Enrichment Class:
Opening Activity Table Arrival - 9:20
Spanish Instruction 9:20-9:30
Yoga/Dance/Stretching: 9:30-9:45
​
1 of 2 Breakout sessions:
Kids rotate in groups of 3-4 between Art, Cooking, Gardening, Animal Care and Creative Play.
​
1 of 3 Breathing Circles:
This activity is used between transitions. We gather to do breath work for 3-5 minutes before moving to our next activity. This time helps us to regulate our nervous system and gather our energy as we transition.
Snack: 10:30-10:50
We practice mindfulness at the table. We encourage the children to enjoy their food and participate in gentle conversation. We also teach manners … children are expected to stay seated at the table, eat their food and not play with it, clean up after themselves and go to the library until the other students finish eating. This encourages an understanding of mindful eating and a practice of self discipline.
​
Please note: We understand there are families that do not have these practices at home ... we teach and model these expected behaviors with loving kindness.
2 of 2 Break out session.
Closing Circle: Story time and review of the day. 11:40-11:55.
