Rainbow Valley Playgarden

Rainbow Valley Playgarden is based on the model of early childhood care of LifeWays North America, and inspired by Waldorf Education and the work of Rudolf Steiner.

In the coming months we will begin to offer relationship-based childcare in our home, in addition to parent/child classes, and Forest School sessions.

We believe that children thrive in a warm, home environment with consistent caregivers, with plenty of time outside to explore nature, healthy organic foods, consistent daily and weekly rhythms, an environment nourishing to the senses, opportunity to participate in the real work of the home and plenty of time for imaginative, unstructured free play.

We are a home-based childcare facility on a little micro-farm homestead just outside of the town of Alamosa where we are constantly working towards an increasingly sustainable lifestyle. We care for numerous animal friends on our little homestead, including chickens, goats, sheep, alpacas, dogs, cats and rabbits, and grow food in our garden. The children at Rainbow Valley Playgarden get to be a part of it all!
