TESTIMONIALS
“
Woody Creek Kids is the most amazing school in the valley. James would go everyday if he could. His growth in the last year is more than we ever could imagine. We were so lucky to have found them, we love them all and the job that they do is beyond words. I never thought my one year old would ride a bus, we can’t get him off of it. He screams with excitement everyday, “yay, Christina, bus!”

As my wife and I were discussing day care options in the Roaring Fork Valley, I admit I was less than thrilled at sending our only child into a foreign environment. I protested till Piper rolled in on the bus the first afternoon. She was happy, exhausted, dirty, and most importantly excited to go back. I am so appreciative of the teaching staff. They have taught our little girl compassion and self-confidence. They have been mindful of her needs as she figures out her method of learning. They have allowed her to be a child, grow as a child, and thrive as a child. All these examples do little to express how grateful we are, as parents, to have Woody Creek Kids in our lives. They are trusted with our child’s care, no exceptions. And, most importantly have become a critical asset to Piper’s early learning experiences. Thank you Christina!

THE HUNDRED LANGUAGES OF CHILDREN
The child is made of one hundred.
The child has
a hundred languages
a hundred hands
a hundred thoughts
a hundred ways of thinking
of playing, of speaking.
A hundred,
always a hundred
ways of listening
of marveling, of loving
a hundred joys
for singing and understanding
a hundred worlds
to discover
a hundred worlds
to invent
a hundred worlds
to dream.
The child has
a hundred languages
(and a hundred hundred hundred more)
but they steal ninety-nine.
The school and the culture
separate the head from the body.
They tell the child
to think without hands
to do without head
to listen and not to speak
to understand without joy
to love and to marvel
only at Easter and Christmas.
They tell the child
to discover the world already there
and of the hundred
they steal ninety-nine.
They tell the child
that work and play
reality and fantasy
science and imagination
sky and earth
reason and dream
are things
that do not belong together.
And thus they tell the child
that the hundred is not there.
The child says:No way – The hundred is there.
