Where environment, relationships, and wonder guide early learning.
Where environment, relationships, and wonder guide early learning.
Reggio Emilia philosophy, a world-renowned approach to early childhood education. We view children as capable, curious learners. Our environment and daily rhythm encourage exploration, creativity, and meaningful relationships between children, families, and teachers.
At Sagewood Childcare, our Classrooms are designed to feel warm, welcoming, and homelike; spaces where children feel safe to explore, create, and connect. In the Reggio-inspired tradition, we view the environment as the "third teacher," carefully curating materials and cozy arrangements that spark curiosity and invite discovery.
Our intimate size ensures every child is truly known, cared for, and supported each day. Limited spots mean deeper connections, stronger relationships, and a genuine sense of belonging.
We intentionally keep our groups small, honoring each child's voice and allowing teachers to form close, responsive relationships. Low ratios allow us to slow down, listen closely, and support each child while nurturing a strong sense of community.
Sagewood is housed within a beautiful church building on Elm Street in the historic town of Exeter, New Hampshire. The Reggio Emilia philosophy reminds us that the environment is considered the "third teacher"- shaping how children learn, explore and connect. Rooted in this understanding, our spaces are crafted and thoughtfully prepared with care and intention, offering a safe and welcoming place where they feel supported in their growth and discovery.
