The "Moonhaven KinderClub" is a small Nanny-based occasional childcare Service in Stephens City, VA that follows the free-range learning philosophy. Our KinderClub is inspired by the Montessori, Waldorf and Reggio Emilia philosophies as well as the German forest schools (Waldkindergarten). We offer intentional quality time for children ages 3-12 years old and for a small group of up to 4 children/day. During our after school & weekend program children have the opportunity to play, create, and learn in a natural setting, surrounded by the beauty of our little homestead. The "Moonhaven KinderClub" is one of the best examples of childcare that fosters outdoor play, creativity, and curiosity.

Children are competent, capable, and curious learners, who have the right to express their ideas, opinions, and feelings.
Children learn best through play, exploration, and discovery, in a rich and stimulating environment that offers challenges and opportunities.
Children benefit from being outdoors, in contact with nature, where they can develop a sense of wonder, appreciation, and responsibility for the natural world.
Children grow where they can participate in meaningful projects, investigations, and dialogues that reflect their interests and questions.
