Our Loving Hands Curiosity Corner

Nature-Inspired Family Daycare

Where Curiosity Grows, Hearts Flourish, and Every Child Belongs

Nestled among the rolling hills between Woodland Hills and Topanga, overlooking the breathtaking San Fernando Valley, Loving Hands Curiosity Corner is a boutique, nature-inspired family daycare where children experience the wonder of childhood in a peaceful, enriching environment unlike any other.

Founded by the same heart and mind as Loving Hands Children’s Home, our Montessori-inspired learning community was intentionally created to nurture curious minds, compassionate hearts, and confident learners through meaningful relationships, nature-based exploration, mindfulness, creativity, and individualized care.

Here, childhood is unhurried. Learning is joyful. Nature becomes the classroom, and every child is celebrated for exactly who they are.

From the gentle rustle of trees to the laughter echoing through our gardens, every moment is thoughtfully designed to inspire curiosity, confidence, kindness, and a lifelong love of learning.

A Sanctuary For Childhood 

We believe children flourish when they feel safe, deeply loved, respected, and free to explore the world at their own pace.

Our serene campus blends Montessori philosophy with the restorative beauty of nature, creating thoughtfully prepared environments that encourage independence, creativity, resilience, and joyful discovery.

Rather than asking children to fit into a program, we thoughtfully personalize each day to meet the unique developmental needs, interests, learning styles, and personalities of every child entrusted to our care.

Through responsive caregiving, purposeful exploration, and nurturing relationships, children develop confidence while building the social, emotional, cognitive, physical, and practical life skills that prepare them for a lifetime of success.

Children don’t simply learn about nature – they become active participants in caring for it.

These authentic experiences foster environmental stewardship, responsibility, curiosity, confidence, resilience, and an appreciation for the interconnectedness of all living things.

Montessori Inspired Learning

Children are naturally driven to learn.

Our Montessori-inspired philosophy honors each child’s innate curiosity by providing thoughtfully prepared environments where exploration, choice, and discovery guide learning.

Our care partners serve as gentle guides  – carefully observing, encouraging, and supporting each child’s unique developmental journey.

Children build confidence through opportunities to:

• Develop independence

• Strengthen concentration

• Solve problems creatively

• Practice practical life skills

• Build respectful relationships

• Explore hands-on materials

• Follow their natural curiosity

Learning becomes meaningful because it grows from genuine interest and joyful discovery.

Whole Child Wellness

True learning encompasses far more than academics.

At Loving Hands Curiosity Corner, we nurture the whole child: supporting emotional, physical, cognitive, creative, social, and environmental wellness every single day.

Our peaceful Mindfulness Gazebo provides children with a calming space where they practice age-appropriate mindfulness, bubble meditations, breathing exercises, gratitude, emotional awareness, kindness, and learning healthy coping skills.

Children learn how to recognize their emotions, solve problems peacefully, build positive friendships, and develop confidence in themselves.

These lifelong skills create the strong foundation upon which healthy relationships and future success are built.

Healthy Living Begins Early

Healthy habits begin in childhood.

Children enjoy wholesome vegetarian meals and nutritious snacks prepared with wellness in mind while participating in age-appropriate cooking experiences and nutrition education.

From harvesting vegetables, fruits and herbs in our gardens to preparing simple recipes together, children develop positive relationships with healthy food while discovering the joy of cooking, sharing, and caring for themselves and others.

Inclusive Care For Every Child

One of the qualities that distinguishes Loving Hands Curiosity Corner is our unwavering commitment to individualized, inclusive care.

Under the leadership of Registered Nurse and Public Health Nurse Janiese Finney, our program is uniquely equipped to support children with a wide range of health care variations, developmental, dietary, and medical needs.

Families can feel confident knowing their child is cared for by experienced professionals who understand both early childhood development and pediatric health, while creating an environment where every child feels safe, capable, respected, and fully included.

Family Partnerships 

We believe the strongest learning communities are built together.

Parents are welcomed as valued partners through open communication, meaningful conversations, developmental updates, daily connections, and an open-door philosophy.

Together, we create an environment where children feel secure, families feel supported, and learning extends naturally between home and school.
