Therapeutic childcare center: mari's place is a state-certified childcare center serving children six weeks to five years old who have experienced early childhood trauma. Children who experience instability and homelessness are more likely to struggle to be emotionally, socially, and scholastically successful in school. Mari's place supports both parents and children by offering a stable, predictable, nurturing environment with a variety of age-appropriate activities. Class curriculum is designed to meet the unique needs of homeless or highly transient families and to assist families in their journey toward stability and the creation of a heathly family system. The center is "nature-based," with an emphasis on getting children outdoors and bringing nature indoors. The kids do arts and crafts projects using materials found in nature, the classrooms are decorated with neutral colors, and whenever possible, the furniture and toys are wooden, rather than plastic and metal furniture found in many preschools. This nature-based philosophy is calming and therapeutic, but, since many of our children don't have backyards of their own in, it's also just plain fun.
