Learning & Growing
at Leila Day

We Nurture The Six Competencies of the Whole Child:

Problem Solving Through Play

Children become critical and creative problem solvers through play, adventure and inquiry.

Nature-Based Learning

Leila Day children develop deep connections with the natural world, a sense of wonder, and love for the earth and where they live.

Expression & Communication

Leila Day Children use language, art, and multiple sign systems to express themselves, communicate and learn from each other, and represent the world.

Ethical Values & Emotional Intelligence

We help children process their emotions and develop the ethical values of kindness, compassion, gratitude, courage, joyful appreciation and peace of mind.

Happy, Healthy, Bodily Sense of Self

Children develop a happy, healthy, agile, bodily sense of self and gain confidence in themselves as they learn to move and use their bodies in different ways and navigate various places, spaces and physical challenges.
