I'm not sure what's taken me so long to write a review for Harmony, I tell everyone how wonderful…read morethey are on an almost daily basis. Harmony is a beautiful, Waldorf style learning center and preschool. The rooms are curated with thoughtful, open ended toys that are rotated in and out weekly leaving the kids with hours of entertainment. The entire facility is calming, from the color choices of the rooms, toys, lighting and music, all the way to every staff member. Even on the busiest days I've been here all the kids are quiet, respectful and calm because of the environment that Amy and Chrissy have created. They have a huge outdoor space as well including an acre of land that they take the preschool kids for walk on. They have a sweet little garden and a few chickens, as well as a pretty awesome mud kitchen area. Harmony offers open play for kids under three, parent child classes in five developmental stages for kids up to 3 1/2, as well as transitional preschool and regular preschool. Katie leads all of the parent child classes and she is wonderful. She has such a lovely energy, is always so happy to see the kids, and has a wonderful way of working with the kids. Honestly I loved her before we had even really met her. Though my son hasn't gone to the preschool program yet I look forward to when he does. And Amy, oh boy, we LOVE Amy. On days where I'm having a rough morning sometimes I go to Harmony just so see Amy as I walk in the door. She is so welcoming, and warm. As far as indoor play spaces go Harmony is by far my favorite. We're here 2-3 times a week for open play and for parent child class and I don't see us slowing down any time soon.

Last year I had two in camp and they loved every day and every adventure. This year I have a niece there and she cannot wait for more boating, fishing, whale watching, learning....the captain is teaching them about the sea by showing them step by step. they pulled up lobster traps, fillet fish, caught sharks, rode alongside dolphins-total fun for kids.
