About be little barn
Our Philosophy
In a fast paced world where our children grow up quickly, be little barn is a space where children can, just as the name says, be little. At blb we nurture children’s mind, body, and soul through play based learning and a perfectly curated environment. It is our mission to promote lifestyle choices where children are engaging in physical activities inside and outside of the classroom, are protected from harmful chemicals in foods and the environment, and feel connected to nature, their families, and the community around them. At be little barn you can be sure your child will be supported throughout important developmental milestones in conjunction with experiencing the joy of childhood to the fullest and keeping a playful state of mind!

"“Self-education through play and exploration requires enormous amounts of unscheduled time—time to do whatever one wants to do, without pressure, judgment, or intrusion from authority figures. That time is needed to make friends, play with ideas and materials, experience and overcome boredom, learn from one’s own mistakes, and develop passions.”
