"Our image of the child is rich in potential, strong, powerful, competent, and most of all, connected to adults and other children." Malaguzzi
ABOUT
The Nest is the sister school to Scissortail Children's School in Lawton, Oklahoma. Scissortail Children's School serves children up to 6 years old. The Nest is specifically for infants and toddlers, ages 6 weeks to 2 years old.
OUR MISSION
is to provide a new destination for infants and toddlers, rising above societal norms for education and creating a collaborative learning community where relationships can develop and thrive. Exploration is encouraged, and higher-order learning processes are developed and sustained. We believe that experiences early in a child's life have a substantial impact on their disposition towards learning. We believe that a respectful, holistic approach to childhood will provide children opportunities to learn much more than rote skills and procedural routines. We advocate for high-quality early learning experiences so that children can achieve their full, individual potential.
OUR MODEL
provides infants and toddlers, ages 6 weeks to 2, in southwest Oklahoma a place of joy and discovery through a Reggio-inspired, nature-based early childhood program. The Nest provides a safe environment for children to actively engage in creative, hands-on materials- a critical element of the exploitation and learning process. Our carefully-selected materials help further develop each child's full potential. We deliver that a high-quality early education focusing on development of initiative, self-confidence, self-esteem, problem solving, creativity, independence and responsibility will build a strong foundation that prepares children for life-long learning, success and happiness.
