Dear Friends of Quarry Hill , 

Most days when I arrived at Quarry Hill to pick up my daughter Lennox last year, she was in the branches on one of the many trees. Her favorites were the apple trees in the play yard and the pear tree in the upper field. I was sometimes surprised by how high she had climbed, but she consistently navigated her way to the ground independently. There was always a teacher nearby, keeping a close eye on my little monkey– reminding her to check in with her body as she climbed higher, but never discouraging her exploration. Lennox started kindergarten this fall, a shift she has approached with the same fearlessness and grace with which she climbs trees. In large part, I credit her experience at Quarry Hill with this easy transition. In this magical place, our children are free to follow their imaginations and explore their surroundings with intention. The teachers support this process with expert care and encourage kindness balanced with accountability and responsibility. The result is confident kids who know how to navigate their dynamic world with curiosity, love, and authenticity.
