Buckle My Shoe Nursery School

Buckle My Shoe began in 1981 with a developmental approach to meaningful high quality early childhood education. Our original small group of seven 2-year-olds has grown to two schools comprising approximately 200 children and a professional community of collaborative educators.

We integrate the Reggio Emilia educational model in our curriculum. The Reggio approach focuses on the whole child through creative exploration and play supporting each childs cognitive physical emotional and social growth.

The programs at Buckle My Shoe empower children to build self-esteem and confidence in their ongoing development. We offer the structure which is fundamental for individual growth in an atmosphere where children never lose their thirst for learning and in which their curiosity and accomplishments guide the curriculum through art music movement (dance yoga and gym) literacy math science and social studies.
