A unique, intentionally designed, educationally rich environment
Early Childhood Education
Scientific studies show children learn best when they are moving and using their senses. Our well structured, hands-on, hands-in, social learning environment teaches beyond the ABCs and 123s. Children graduate from FH with a broad base of educational experiences that prepare them for life-long learning and success. Our "Unwritten Curriculum" teaches essential communication skills including problem-solving, emotional intelligence and assertiveness training.
Within home-like architecture, our little schoolhouse is an educational wonderland for children ages 2 years through 5th grade.
Class sizes are limited to a small number of lucky littles. Families are welcome to schedule a private tour and encouraged to get on the waiting list for future enrollment or if current enrollment is unavailable.
Professional Staff
Everyone at Fabian House has or is finishing a degree in Child Development, Education, Applied Behavioral Analysis, or a closely related field. All Fabian House Team Members are considered life-long learners and participate in quarterly professional development in areas such as:
Applied Behavioral Analysis
Age Appropriate Child Guidance
Curriculum Development
Health and Safety
We have a culture of collaboration to provide the best in world practice. Our goal is to become a scalable model that is recognized worldwide. Ours is a successful teaching and learning model for children, teachers, therapists, and parents.
Adventure Playground
Our unique outdoor classroom is a celebration of nature and childhood. Complete with reading and writing opportunities, dramatic play, art, building materials, dirt, sand, water, trees, and plenty of room for large motor activities.
We are outside 3x/day, year round. Our "instant engagement, just add water" motto is celebrated with running hoses in the Mud Kitchen, Construction Zone, Sandy Bay Area, and Waterworks Center.
Naturally evolving curriculum includes preservation and appreciation of nature, health, nutrition, and sustainability. You can find us with magnifying glasses, peeking under logs, growing in our garden, and learning how to be both gentle and strong.
Integrated Applied Behavioral Analysis Therapy (ABA)
Our ABA-ECE (Applied Behavior Analysis-Early Childhood Education) program magnifies the success of young children with high functioning Autism by combining scientifically proven therapy with an Early Childhood Education environment.
Individualized, collaborative goals are reached within the context of a typical, educationally rich classroom. Our children enjoy learning and deepen security through consistency in their relationships with teachers, therapists, and classmates.
Hands on/Hands in
Structured curriculum features both planned and naturally evolving activities, including: science, cooking, and gardening projects, music and movement, art exploration, children’s literature, mathematics, zoo-phonics, writing activities, dramatic play, nutritional awareness, and nature appreciation.
The Unwritten Curriculum
We constantly model and teach "the unwritten curriculum," where children learn problem-solving skills, assertiveness training, communication skills, self discipline, and responsibility. We strive to empower and nurture happy, resilient, life-long learners.
Play Clothes Only
Children relish the amazing outdoors. With lots of grass, vines, flowers, and fruit trees, our awesome adventure playground puts an emphasis on nature and exploration. Kids move between indoor and outdoor spaces; from an engineering room to a music garden to a mud kitchen, busy minds are engaged, encouraged, and nurtured every single day.
Look and Feel of Home
A side-step from commercial care, this is a purposely designed neighborhood house that combines the best of in-home and professional care. Come play and learn with us in this safe, nurturing, and engaging early childhood wonderland, where kids feel like they’re home.
“Blessed are the curious for they shall have adventure!”
