ABOUT US
Our Philosophy
At Forever Young, we believe children need more than a teacher — they need caring adults who nurture, guide, and respect them as individuals.
Our approach is inspired by the philosophy of Resources for Infant Educarers (RIE), developed by infant specialist Magda Gerber. For more than 40 years, these principles have helped shape the loving, respectful environment at Forever Young.
We create a balance between guided learning and independent exploration, allowing children to grow confidently at their own pace.
Our Approach
We strive to:
-
Encourage independence and choice
-
Build stable, nurturing relationships with caregivers
-
Support natural motor and sensory development
-
Provide safe spaces for exploration and discovery
-
Foster creativity through uninterrupted play
-
Respect each child’s unique developmental journey
-
Create hands-on learning experiences connected to monthly themes
Learning Through Play
We believe children learn best through play, exploration, and positive social interaction. Every activity at Forever Young is designed to help children build confidence, cooperation, creativity, and lifelong social skills.
Our Belief
Healthy, happy, and confident children are successful children.
Why
Forever
Young
Forever Young isn’t just a daycare — it’s a community built by families, for families. As a non-profit organization guided by a board of parents and executive director, every decision we make reflects one simple goal: what’s best for our children.
Our staff is the heart of our center. Many of our teachers have been with us for decades — some for more than 30 years — offering a high level of continuity and care that feels like family. Their warmth, patience, and commitment to hands-on, curiosity-driven learning help every child feel seen, supported, and celebrated.
Tuition at Forever Young is all-inclusive, so parents can focus on what matters most — their child’s growth and happiness. We provide freshly prepared vegetarian, home-cooked meals (breakfast and lunch) and two nutritious snacks each day. Diapers and wipes are always included, as are plenty of hugs, songs, and laughter.
Parents often tell us they can feel the difference here — in the calm, nurturing atmosphere, in the smiles at drop-off, and in the trust they have knowing their children are thriving in a safe, loving environment. That’s the Forever Young way.
