Khalsa Childcare

A Holistic Approach for Children of All Ages

Khalsa Childcare is a Licensed Large Family Daycare currently accepting applications for children 6 mo. - 7 years of age.

Khalsa Childcare is the alternative to traditional care for children. It is a unique approach to education in the Pioneer Valley, honoring the wisdom of the Earth.
At Khalsa Childcare we realize the importance of a child's early years in starting good habits and making healthy choices -- for one's body, mind, and spirit. We serve vegan raw and living food snacks and meals prepared with fresh, organic fruits and vegetables (and love!). We offer:
Outdoor Skills & Nature Programs: Daily classes on observing the wonders of the natural world and then capturing it on paper in their nature journals. (if there are enough children we include a horseback riding program with education in the care of horses)
Health & Healing: Learning how to take good care of ourselves and each other with compassion, healthy foods, organic gardening and more!
The Arts: We work with crayons, water colors and beeswax to facilitate beautiful expression of self. Recycling materials is another modality of approaching art as well as lots of singing, various types of dancing and acting out some of our favorite stories. We have many instruments that the children engage in during play time as well as in our morning circle.
Academics: Daily lesson focuses on either a number or letter with a Waldorf approach.
Dharmic Studies (Through yoga, meditation, ceremonies and celebrations, we practice and become focused on nurturing our selves. We also experience the richness of giving and community service.)
Conscious Communication: We help facilitate communication between staff and children using creative problem solving, NVC-non-violent communication (the ability to use our words to express feelings and needs) and the nurtured heart approach.

Khalsa Childcare is a successful, vibrant large family daycare established in Leverett, Mass. for over 20 years! The director and staff are all nurturing caregivers who love children, and love the work they do.
