The month of May was dedicated to learning all about the Safari! Pillar Kids’ common interest in wild animals (lions, tigers, etc.) led to a month-long investigation on African Safaris. Split into four weeks, Pillar Kids studied various topics relating to Safari life. Each weekly topic that was investigated throughout our Safari curriculum was supported  by language, math, art, science, social studies, and movement activities. [Read more…]

Hi there! I’m Vanessa. Thanks for stopping by to get to know me a little bit better. I’m the childcare lead here at Pillar Kids. For the past 3 years, I’ve had the greatest pleasure working as an Early Childhood Educator. My interest in teaching sparked when I was in the first grade.

When my business partner and I decided to start Pillar about 5 years ago, I knew owning a child
care meant being responsible for people’s most valuable possessions – their children! As a new mother myself, I decided it was a great time to start studying the field of Early Childhood Education (ECE) to educate myself and figure out how exactly to run a high-quality childcare. [Read more…]
