WELCOME TO SOL
Sol Playschool was created as a community-centered project grounded in the belief that high-quality early childhood education grows through collaboration, shared responsibility, and deep respect for childhood.
At Sol Playschool, we honor childhood by nurturing the whole child-mind, body, heart, and imagination. Our educational approach is emergent, play-based, and deeply connected to nature, allowing learning to unfold through open-ended, self-directed play and meaningful everyday experiences. We create space for curiosity, movement, and discovery, supporting confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of belonging.
Our philosophy is inspired by Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and contemporary research on play-based learning. From Montessori, we embrace respect for the child, independence, hands-on exploration, and thoughtfully prepared environments. From Reggio Emilia, influenced by the work of Loris Malaguzzi, we view children as capable, curious learners and recognize the environment as a powerful teacher. Learning grows from children’s interests, questions, and discoveries, guided by attentive educators.
WHY SOL?
At Sol Playschool, we create a nurturing, play-based community where children, families, and educators grow together.
Guided by a shared mission with families, we support each child’s natural development through meaningful partnerships, thoughtfully designed spaces, rich outdoor experiences, and garden-to-table learning. Within a bilingual English–Spanish environment grounded in deep respect for every child’s individuality, we foster curiosity, independence, belonging, and joyful discovery.

Food with Intention
At Sol Playschool, food is an essential part of our educational experience and daily rhythm. Meals and snacks are fully integrated into our nature-based, play-centered approach, supporting independence, connection, and well-being.
